RF TESTING SYSTEM WITH SERDES DEVICE

摘要

An integrated circuit (IC) is provided. The IC includes: a controller, a serializer-deserializer (SerDes) device, a transmitter, and a receiver. The controller is configured to obtain a test signal when the IC has entered a test mode. The SerDes device is configured to perform a serialization/deserialization process on the test signal. The transmitter is configured to generate a radio frequency (RF) signal in response to the test signal after the serialization/deserialization process. The RF receiver is configured to receive the RF signal in the test mode. The controller further captures the received RF signal from the receiver for determining a test result.

1. An integrated circuit (IC), comprising
a controller, configured to obtain a test signal when the IC has entered a test mode; a serializer-deserializer (SerDes) device, configured to perform a serialization/deserialization process; a transmitter, configured to perform a radio frequency (RF) transmission process; and a receiver, configured to perform an RF receiving process; wherein when the IC enters the test mode, the test signal passes through the SerDes device and at least one of the transmitter and the receiver to generate a resultant test signal for determining a test result.
