4.3 Digital Local Loopback
The digital local loopback is activated when the DLOOP signal is set "High." When digital local loopback is
activated, the high-speed data from the output of the parallel to serial converter is looped back and presented
to the high-speed input of the receiver serial to parallel converter. The CMU output is also looped back to the
receive section and is used to synchronize the transfer of the data through the receiver. In Digital loopback
mode, the transmit data from the transmit parallel interface TXDI[3:0]P/N is serialized and presented to the
high-speed transmit output TXOP/N using the high-speed 2.488/2.666 GHz transmit clock which is generated
from the clock multiplier unit and presented to the input of the Retimer and SIPO. A simplified block diagram of
digital loopback is shown in Figure 18.
