    Abstract: A Low Voltage Differential Signaling, LVDS, transmitter includes driver circuit (110) with a first transistor (P1), a second transistor (P2), a third transistor (N1), a fourth transistor (N2), a first resistor (R1), and a second resistor (R2). The first transistor (P1) is coupled between a first node (112) and first output (PadN). The second transistor (P2) is coupled between the first node (112) and a second output (PadP). The third transistor (N1) is coupled between the first output (PadN) and a second node (114). The fourth transistor (N4) is coupled between the second output (PadP) and the second node (114). The first resistor (R1) is coupled between the first output and a common mode node (Vcm). The second resistor (R2) is coupled between the second output and the common mode node. A pre-driver circuit (120) generates gate control signals controlling the first, second, third, and fourth transistors in response to a data signal (Data). A controlled timing delay is applied to the timing of logic state transistors for the control signals.

    Abstract: A processing system is described. The processing system comprises an error detection circuit (46) configured to receive data bits (DATA) and ECC bits. The error detection circuit (46) calculates further ECC bits as a function of the data bits (DATA) and generates a syndrome (SYN) by comparing the calculated ECC bits with the received ECC bits. When the syndrome (SYN) corresponds to one of N + K single bit-flip reference syndromes, the error detection circuit (46) asserts a first error signal (ERR 1 ), and asserts one bit of a bit-flip signature (SIG) corresponding to a single bit-flip error indicated by the respective single bit-flip reference syndrome.
    The processing system further comprises a test circuit (48) configured to provide, during a test-mode (TM), a sequence of patterns (PAT) to the error detection circuit (46), each pattern (PAT) comprising data bits (DATA) and ECC bits. Specifically, the test circuit (48) obtains a first pattern (PAT) without ECC errors, provides the first pattern (PAT) to the error detection circuit (46) and verifies whether the first error signal (ERR 1 ) is de-asserted and all bits of the bit-flip signature (SIG) are de-asserted. Moreover, the test circuit (48) obtains a sequence of N + K further bit-flip signatures (FSIG), each further bit-flip signature (SIG) having asserted a single bit. Moreover, the test circuit obtains (1008, 1014) for each further bit-flip signature (FSIG) a respective second pattern (PAT), wherein each second pattern (PAT) corresponds to a pattern having a single bit flipped with respect to a reference pattern at the positions of the single asserted bit of the respective further bit-flip signature (FSIG). The test circuit provides each second pattern (PAT) to the error detection circuit (46) and verifies whether the first error signal (ERR 1 ) is asserted and the bit-flip signature (SIG) corresponds to the respective further bit-flip signature.
