Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented in-situ and on-chip to capture a digital signal eye of a serial transmit signal produced by a transmitter circuit of integrated SerDes PHY transceiver circuitry. In one example, a serial transmit signal produced by a transmitter side circuit of an integrated SerDes PHY transceiver circuit may be looped back on chip to the receiver side circuit of the same SerDes PHY transceiver circuit such that an integrated digital eye monitor circuit of the SerDes receiver circuit may capture the digital eye of the serial transmit signal of the same SerDes PHY circuit. In another example, a digital eye monitor circuit may be integrated on the transmitter side of an integrated SerDes PHY transceiver circuit such that a serial transmit signal produced by the transmitter side circuit of may be captured on-chip.
