Hi HShi,

If the transmitter is using an internal clock which is derived from the
recovered
clock, then the internal PLL may lock in a very slow clock rate if you connect
the
transmit pin to the input pin of the same chip.

Subject:  [SI-LIST] serial loop-back causing clock error




Hello worldwide experts,

Here is a question.  I am using an external wire to loopback the transmitter
to the receiver on the same serdes.  Simple!  What I found is that both
recovered clock and the transmitting clock changed to a new slower rate when
loopback in place.  As a result, the transmitted data rate is slowed down
accordingly.  However, if the same receiver receives signals from a separate
Serdes transmitter, or the same transmitter sending signal to a separate
Serdes receiver, they all work correctly, no clock and data rate change
occurs.

What causes this "feedback" when doing the serial loopback?

Thanks much,
HShi
