Bits 12 to 8: Pattern Tap Feedback (PTF[4:0])
– These five bits control the PRBS “tap” feedback of the pattern
generator. The “tap” feedback will be from bit y of the pattern generator (y = PTF[4:0] +1). These bits are ignored
when programmed for a repetitive pattern. For a PRBS signal, the feedback is an XOR of bit n and bit y.
Bit 6: QRSS Enable (QRSS)
– When 0, the pattern generator configuration is controlled by PTS, PLF[4:0], and
PTF[4:0], and BSP[31:0]. When 1, the pattern generator configuration is forced to a PRBS pattern with a
generating polynomial of x
20
+ x
17
+ 1. The output of the pattern generator will be forced to one if the next fourteen
output bits are all zero.
Bit 5: Pattern Type Select (PTS)
– When 0, the pattern is a PRBS pattern. When 1, the pattern is a repetitive
pattern.
Bits 4 to 0: Pattern Length Feedback (PLF[4:0])
– These five bits control the “length” feedback of the pattern
generator. The “length” feedback will be from bit n of the pattern generator (n = PLF[4:0] +1). For a PRBS signal,
the feedback is an XOR of bit n and bit y. For a repetitive pattern the feedback is bit n.
