Abstract
A low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) receiver includes a receiver circuit including first and second inputs coupled to first and second conductive pads, respectively, and an output coupled to an input of a digital controller, and a dummy transmitter circuit including a first input coupled to receive a common mode voltage (VCM) tune signal, a second input coupled to a loopback input signal, a third input coupled to a loopback enable signal, a first output coupled to the first input of the receiver circuit, and a second output coupled to the second input of the receiver circuit. When a test mode of operation is enabled, the digital controller asserts the loopback enable signal, and the dummy transmitter circuit generates a pair of test differential signals based on the VCM tune signal, wherein the VCM tune signal varies to test the LVDS receiver over a range of common mode voltages.
