  • Patent number: 10664371
    Abstract: A circuit includes a receiver having first and second differential input pairs and one differential output pair, the receiver outputting the first differential inputs at the differential outputs in a first mode and applying test signals to the second differential inputs and outputting the second differential inputs at the differential outputs in a second mode; and switches coupled to the first and second differential inputs to disconnect the test input signals from the second differential inputs during the first mode and to disable the receiver input signals by connecting first differential inputs to local core voltage while tri-stating the transmitter on the other side of the link during the second mode.
