Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a sampling circuit configured to sample a first signal based on a sampling position signal received from an eye-scan controller to generate a sequence of sampled symbols. A data checker is configured to provide an error signal including an indication of errors in the sequence of sampled symbols to the eye-scan controller. The eye-scan controller is configured to sweep from an initial position of a unit interval (UI) of the first signal to a left sweep end to generate a first sequence of sampling positions and sweep from the initial position to a right sweep end to generate a second sequence of sampling positions. The left and right sweep ends are determined based on first and second sequences of bit error rate (BERs) corresponding to the first and second sequences of sampling positions respectively.
