A scheme for noise floor de-embedding by identifying a link or relationship between noise floor from an oscilloscope and phase jitter impact on a toggling signal. The scheme uses phase or electrical spectrum and phase detection for noise floor recognition. The scheme de-embeds the impact from random noise and also removes deterministic noise or jitter from the oscilloscope. The scheme provides accurate jitter analysis for a circuit (e.g., clock data recovery circuit) after de-embedding noise floor for the oscilloscope.

Oscilloscope noise floor de-embedding for high speed toggle signal measurement

Techniques and mechanisms for operating an integrated circuit to communicate via a hardware interface for the integrated circuit, wherein a pinout with the hardware interface is based on the configuration. In an embodiment, the integrated circuit receives a first plurality of signals via the hardware interface, and sequentially latches a second plurality of signals based on the first plurality of signals. In another embodiment, some or all of the second plurality of signals are variously latched by the integrated circuit in an order which is based on the first configuration.
