摘要:
Devices and methods for serial loopback testing in an integrated circuit (IC) are provided. To implement loopback testing, an equalizer stage of a receiver of the IC is powered down. In addition, the common-mode voltage of the equalizer stage is reduced and/or a bulk node of the equalizer stage is connected to ground. Doing so may reduce the impact of capacitive coupling from the input pins of buffer, thereby improving the quality of the loopback output signal.
