Abstract:
Techniques for processing signal information from a high speed communication bus. The techniques includes determining spatial regions on an eye characterized by a start point, an end point, a middle point, a left point, and a right point. The start point is a beginning of an eye opening at a reference voltage. The end point is at an ending of eye opening at the reference voltage. The middle point is at a center point of eye opening at the reference voltage. The left point is a left sampling location characterized by a minimum setup time requirement, and the right point is a right sampling location characterized by a minimum hold time requirement. Determining the points is based on shifting a DQS position and a DQ position and running a plurality of memory built-in self test (BIST) engines and a plurality of results of BIST tests.
