Eye Scan

All receive channels provide features which facilitate mapping the received data eye or extracting a symbol response. A number of fields accessible through the IEEE1500 Char scan chain allow the required low level data to be gathered. The process of transforming this data into a map of the eye or a symbol response must then be performed externally, typically in software.

The basic principle used is as follows:

  • Enable dedicated eye scan input samplers, and generate an error when the value sampled differs from the normal data sample;
  • Apply a voltage offset to the dedicated eye scan input samplers, to effectively reduce their sensitivity;
  • Apply a phase offset to adjust the point in the eye that the dedicated eye scan data samples are taken;
  • Reset the error counter to remove any false errors accumulated as a result of the voltage or phase offset adjustments;
  • Run in this state for a period of time, periodically checking to see if any errors have occurred;
  • Change voltage and/or phase offset, and repeat.

Alternatively, the algorithm can be configured to optimize the voltage offset at a specified phase offset, over a specified time interval.

Eye scan can be used in both synchronous and asynchronous systems, while receiving normal data traffic. The IEEE1500 Char fields used to directly control eye scan and symbol response extraction are ES, ESWORD, ES BIT SELECT, ESLEN, ESPO, ESVO, ESVO OVR, ESRUN and ESDONE. Eye scan errors are accumulated in ECOUNT.

The required eye scan mode is selected through the ES field, as shown in Table 7-29. When enabled, only data from the bit position within the 20-bit word specified through ES BIT SELECT is analyzed. In other words, only eye scan errors associated with data output at this bit position will accumulate in ECOUNT. The maximum legal ES BIT SELECT is 10011.

Table 7-29 Eye Scan Mode Selection
ES[3:0]EFFECT
0000Disabled. Eye scan is disabled.
0x01Compare. Counts mismatches between the normal sample and the eye scan sample if ES[2] = 0, and matches otherwise.
0x10Compare zeros. As ES = 0x01, but only analyses zeros, and ignores ones.
0x11Compare ones. As ES = 0x01, but only analyses ones, and ignores zeroes.
0100Count ones. Increments ECOUNT when the eye scan sample is a 1.
1x00Average. Adjusts ESVO to the average eye opening over the time interval specified by ESLEN. Analyses zeroes when ES[2] = 0, and ones when ES[2]= 1.
1001
1110
Outer. Adjusts ESVO to the outer eye opening (that is, lowest voltage zero, highest voltage 1) over the time interval specified by ESLEN. 1001 analyses zeroes, 1110 analyses ones.
1010
1101
Inner. Adjusts ESVO to the inner eye opening (that is, highest voltage zero, lowest voltage 1) over the time interval specified by ESLEN. 1010 analyses zeroes, 1101 analyses ones.
1x11Timed Compare. As ES = 001x, but analyses over the time interval specified by ESLEN. Analyses zeroes when ES[2] = 0, and ones when ES[2] = 1.

When ES[3] = 0, the selected analysis runs continuously. However, when ES[3] = 1, only the number of qualified samples specified by ESLed, as shown in Table 7-30. In this case, analysis is started by writing a 1 to ESRUN (it is not necessary to set it back to 0). When analysis completes, ESDONE is set to 1.

When ESVO OVR = 1, the ESVO field determines the amount of offset voltage that is applied to the eye scan data samplers associated with rxpi and rxni. The amount of offset is variable between 0 and 300 mV in increments of ~10 mV, as shown Table 7-31. When ES[3] = 1, ESVO OVR must be 0 to allow the optimized voltage offset to be read back through ESVO.

The phase position of the samplers associated with rxpi and rxni, is controlled to a precision of 1/32UI. When ES is not 00, the phase position can be adjusted forwards or backwards by more than one UI using the ESPO field, as shown in Table 7-32. In normal use, the range should be limited to ±0.5 UI (+15 to –16 phase steps).
