6.3.10 Data Pattern Checker

The DAC3482 incorporates a simple pattern checker test to determine errors in the data interface. The main cause of failures is setup/hold timing issues. The test mode is enabled by asserting iotest_ena in register config1. In test mode, the analog outputs are deactivated regardless of the state of TXENABLE or sif_texnable in register config3.

The data pattern key used for the test is 8 words long and is specified by the contents of iotest_pattern[0:7] in registers config37 through config44. The data pattern key can be modified by changing the contents of these registers.

The first word in the test frame is determined by a rising edge transition in FRAME or SYNC, depending on the syncsel_fifoin(3:0) setting in config32. At this transition, the pattern0 word should be input to the data pins. Patterns 1 through 7 should follow sequentially on each edge of DATACLK (rising and falling). The sequence should be repeated until the pattern checker test is disabled by setting iotest_ena back to 0. It is not necessary to have a rising FRAME or SYNC edge aligned with every pattern0 word, just the first one to mark the beginning of the series.

The test mode determines if the 16-bit LVDS data D[15:0]P/N of all the patterns were received correctly by comparing the received data against the data pattern key. If any of the 16-bit data D[15:0]P/N were received incorrectly, the corresponding bits in iotest_results(15:0) in register config4 will be set to 1b to indicate bit error location. Furthermore, the error condition will trigger the alarm_from_iotest bit in register config5 to indicate a general error in the data interface. When data pattern checker mode is enabled, this alarm in register config5, bit 7 is the only valid alarm. Other alarms in register config5 are not valid and can be disregarded.

For instance, pattern0 is programmed to the default of 0x7A7A. If the received Pattern 0 is 0x7A7B, then bit 0 in iotest_results(15:0) will be set to 1b to indicate an error in bit 0 location. The alarm_from_iotest will also be set to 1b to report the data transfer error. The user can then narrow down the error from the alarm_from_iotest bit location information and implement the fix accordingly.

The alarms can be cleared by writing 0x0000 to iotest_results(15:0) and 0b to alarm_from_iotest through the serial interface. The serial interface will read back 0s if there are no errors or if the errors are cleared. The corresponding alarm bit will remain a 1b if the errors remain. Based on the pattern test result, the user can adjust the data source output timing, PCB traces delay, or DAC3482 CONFIG36 LVDS Programmable delay to help optimize the setup and hold time of the transmitter system.

Note that unless the unused data pins in byte-wide input format are forced to a known value the data pattern checker is only available for the word-wide input data format. In byte-wide input format, the first 8-bits of the iotest_pattern[0:7] in registers config37 through config44 will either need to be 0s or 1s for valid data pattern checking.

It is recommended to enable the pattern checker and then run the pattern sequence for 100 or more complete cycles before clearing the iotest_results(15:0) and alarm_from_iotest. This will eliminate the possibility of false alarms generated during the setup sequence.
