ML628 IBERT Getting Started Guide
UG806 (v1.0) May 20, 2011
Running the GTX IBERT Demonstration
the signal can result in bit errors being observed by the receiver. Sixteen in-line DC blocks
are included with the ML628 board and are provided to filter the DC component in the
signal path. To use the DC block in loopback, screw one end into to the SMA F-F adapter
and then connect the RX and TX cables to each end of the union (
). Install a DC
block to both the P and N signals of each lane where bit errors are observed.
Closing the IBERT Demonstration
To stop the IBERT demonstration:
1.
Close the ChipScope application by selecting
File
→
Exit
.
Note:
Do not save changes to the project.
2.
Place the main power switch SW1 in the off position.

Running the GTX IBERT Demonstration
The GTX IBERT demonstration operates one GTX Quad at a time. This section describes
how to test GTX Quad 100. The remaining GTX Quads are tested following a similar series
of steps. The GTH IBERT demonstration is described in
.
Connecting the GTX Transceivers and Reference Clocks
shows the locations for GTX transceiver Quads 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 112,
113, 114, and 115 on the ML628 board.
