9.13 Bit Error-Rate Test Function (BERT)
The BERT (Bit Error Rate Tester) block can generate and detect both pseudorandom and repeating bit patterns. It
is used to test and stress data-communication links. BERT functionality is dedicated for each of the transceivers.
The registers related to the configure, control, and status of the BERT are shown in
Table 9-44. Registers Related to Configure, Control, and Status of BERT
