A linearity test system for a chip, a linearity signal providing device, and a linearity test method for the chip are provided. The linearity test method for the chip includes steps as follows: providing a reference clock signal and a receiver input signal to a chip under test, wherein the reference clock signal and the receiver input signal have a phase difference in time domain; and determining a linearity of a phase interpolator of the chip under test based on a plurality of phase signals of the chip under test corresponding to the reference clock signal and the receiver input signal.

Linearity test system, linearity signal providing device, and linearity test method

A receiver detection system includes a media access control (MAC) circuit, a common-mode voltage detector, and a receiver detector. The common-mode voltage detector is configured to detect whether a common-mode voltage satisfies a voltage condition, and to send a ready signal to the receiver detector after the common-mode voltage satisfies the voltage condition. The receiver detector is configured to start a detection process according to the ready signal and a detection start signal from the MAC circuit. In the detection process, the receiver detector sends out a detection signal for detecting whether a receiver exists, and then outputs a detection result to the MAC circuit, wherein the detection result indicates whether the receiver exists. The receiver detection system can prevent the receiver detector from starting the detection process before the common-mode voltage satisfies the voltage condition.
