Abstract
A method of transmitting data through a link comprises encoding digital data into encoded digital data in a transition minimized differential signaling encoder, serializing the encoded digital data into encoded and serial digital data in a serializer, generating test data in a pseudo-random binary sequence generator circuit, transmitting the encoded and serial digital data through a multiplexer to a transmission medium in a normal mode of operation, and transmitting the test data through the multiplexer to the transmission medium in a test mode of operation. The encoder, the serializer, the sequence generator circuit, and the multiplexer are fabricated in a single integrated chip. The test data includes data to generate colors in a visual image, and the encoded and serial digital data is received, deserialized, decoded, and displayed in a display unit.
