Test Modes
Note:
Test modes are intended for manufacture test only and are not guaranteed to be operational. They may be
modified or eliminated without prior notice.
The device has per-channel test modes as well as global test modes. The bypass PLL, BYPPLL, is a global test
input because it modifies the operation of the analog PLL. Test bits TEST[4:1] generally operate in the localized
mode. The LDST[A:D] inputs are enable signals that permit the TEST[4:1] signals to be injected into a particular
channel.
For example, if LDST = 1, the TEST[4:1] signals directly control the test modes in the A channel. Once LDST = 0,
the previous values of TEST[4:1] are held for the A channel. The TEST[4:1] signals control the four channels (A, B,
C, D) via level sense latches that are gated with the LDST[A:D] inputs. TEST[5] is a global test node used for both
injection of signals as well as for monitoring points within the device.
