TMDS181: about the EyeScan Tool of TMDS181

Part Number: TMDS181

Hello.


I will question about the EyeScan Tool of TMDS181.

When using the EyeScan Tool on the TMDS 181 evaluation board,
What status of the IC is displayed for Status in the Pattern tab of the attached document?

When you press "Update Status" button every time, the state changes.
What kind of state can be considered for this?

Thank you.

    This field is reflection of register 0x0Fh.

    When the pattern verification function is first enabled it will attempt to train to the incoming data pattern. During this training process, incoming data is collected into an internal pattern comparator/generator so as to initialize its pattern state and the pv_tip output is asserted high. When enough data has been collected to initialize the pattern comparator, the pv_tip output is deasserted, the internal pattern comparator runs autonomously, and pattern verification begins. When a mismatch between the incoming data and the expected pattern occurs, the pv_fail output is asserted. If the number of consecutive failures exceeds the threshold specified by the pv_thr input control bus, then the training process is restarted.

    For more details, please refer to TMDS181 pattern generation and verification app note: www.ti.com/.../sllu294.pdf.

    Thanks
