Loopback
PIPE Interface
The PIPE interface supports the PCI Express protocol. The PIPE interface
simplifies and standardizes the back-end interface to the PCI Express
physical layer. This block is automatically enabled in PIPE mode and is
not available in any other mode.
Loopback
There are four available loopback modes for diagnostic purposes. The
following loopback modes are available:
■
Serial loopback
■
Reverse serial loopback
■
Pre-CDR loopback
■
Built-in self test (BIST) incremental test parallel loopback
■
PCI Express (PIPE) reverse parallel loopback
Figure 1–4
shows the available loopback modes.

Built-In Self-Test
The gigabit transceiver block contains several features that simplify
design verification. Embedded pattern generators and pattern verifiers
provide a simple approach to board verification without the need to
design additional logic in the PLD fabric. The BIST pseudo-random
binary sequence (PRBS) and incremental pattern generators, along with
their respective pattern verifiers, provide a full self-test path.
