A board-to-board communication link is a practical method of evaluating the
TLK1501 in a system-like environment as shown in Figure 2–4. A Parallel
BERT or a logic analyzer can be used to provide and monitor signals to and
from the transceiver pairs. The BERT would need to configure the TX_ER and
TX_EN signals for data transmission before any data is sent. On the receive
side the RX_ER and RX_DV can monitor the device for errors. Both GTX_CLK
sources must have the same frequency within 200 PPM for asynchronous
operation. Synchronous operation can be achieved by using either the BERT
or a synchronized pulse generator to supply both boards with GTX_CLK
inputs.
