100Base-TX Test Procedure for the 82544 Chip
Figure I-13. Active Output Interface Duty Cycle Distortion (Figure 9-3)
I.5.6 Test Procedure
Connect the test equipment and Unit Under Test (UUT), as shown in Figure I-2. If available, use
register settings or test pins to:
• Disable Scrambling.
• Force 100 Mbps Good Link.
• Transmit a hexadecimal 3,4,3,4,3,4… data pattern (creates16 nsec wide pulses).
If the above settings are implemented, the Phy will automatically transmit 16ns wide pulses.
