11 years agoIs there an IP I can use to do Bit Error Ratio Tester for Gigbit transceivers?
I have a design which will use gigbit transceivers, I wonder is ther an IP I can use to do Bit Error Ratio Tester to verify whether the hardware is in good shape or not? Thanks in advance.

You can then the Quartus Transceiver Toolkit GUI to control the Qsys system and generate bath-tub plots, etc. Cheers, Dave --- Quote End --- Thanks very much, Dave. Now Altera website is in maintenance which I can't check them now. It seems the PRBS pattern generator and checker, these two IPs are not in Quartus II as default, we have to download them and install, right? Thanks.
