Abstract
A data storage device includes a memory and a controller coupled to the non-volatile memory. The controller is coupled to a communication interface that is configured to enable communication with a host device. The controller is configured to send a signal via a first connection of the communication interface and to send a corresponding clock signal via a second connection of the communication interface. The signal is compliant with a communication protocol that specifies that the first connection of the communication interface carries the signal while the second connection of the communication interface carries the clock signal. The first connection is testable to measure the signal to generate data indicating transitions of the signal. The data excludes measurements of the clock signal. The data is analyzable to detect an indication defined by the communication protocol and to determine an estimated bit sequence of the signal.
