  • Abstract
    Most interfaces on graphics and chipset devices are now high speed. High quality testing of well characterized interfaces up to the 3.2Gbps range has not required high speed/loopback channel cards or special external/internal instruments. The next frontier that is coming rapidly is the 6+Gbps range. The big question is "what is needed to maintain quality and low test cost at these speeds"?
