  • Abstract
    This paper discusses a new BIST methodology suitable for functional testing of transceivers on a data communications chip. Practical circuits are presented which allow the at-speed testing of various functional blocks. The concept has been applied to test a 400 Mbps 3-port IEEE 1394a system. The silicon for the 0.35 μm CMOS implementation is expected in early 2002.
