DS90UH940N-Q1: Questions for 940N BIST

Part Number: DS90UH940N-Q1

Hello Team,

My customer has several question for 940N BIST option.

Could you pls help answer it??

1) For BISTC, this is for clock selection for BIST, if BISTC is enabled, internal CLK 33MHz will be used.

if so, FC rate would be 33MHz*35bit=1.155Gbps??

2) Can 940N support BIST mode with dual ink with BISTC=high? if so, FC rate for port0 and port1 will have 1.155Gbps repectively or each port will output half of 1.155Gbps??

3) For BIST sequence, there is no requirement for bist with power on sequence. So my customer will enable BIST by resistor. then 940N device will start with BIST mode once power on. Is this no problem??

Or 940N should be enter normal mode first before enabled by bist pin??

Thank you.

    Yes, that's correct.

    In dual FPD mode, the PCLK rate is split between the 2 lanes.

    You need to run BIST once both Ser and Des have fully been powered up and are stable. Also, it's best to clear the CRC registers prior to testing to make sure you don't have CRC error residual from power-up.

    Hello Fadi,

    Thanks for your answer. but I am still not clear about this.

    Do you mean that Ser-Des should be linked in normal mode first and customer can enable BIST??

    Of course, they will use clear CRC as you recommended.

    Thank you.

    Hi Harry,

    Yes power-up the Ser and the Des. Make sure you have link between Ser and Des. Then clear CRC errors, and then run BIST test.
