Abstract: A link latency management for a high-speed point-to-point network (pTp) is described The link latency management facilitates calculating latency of a serial interface by tracking a round trip delay of a header that contains latency information. Therefore, the link latency management facilitates testers, logic analyzers, or test devices to accurately measure link latency for a point-to-point architecture utilizing a serial interface.

Abstract: In a bypass mode, a tester may bypass the core and input/output phase locked loops (PLLs) utilized by a processor to develop internal clock signals. External, tester-generated, phase shifted clock signals may be used to generate aligned high frequency signals to replace those generated by the phase locked loops. A plurality of phase shifted, tester generated clock signals may be subjected to an exclusive OR operation for generating input/output and core clock replacement signals. The clock signals received from the tester may also be aligned. Thus, a variety of skews may be compensated before entering the bypass mode. In some embodiments of the present invention, the core and I/O PLL clocks are used to establish alignment in a set-up phase and in other embodiments, the core and I/O PLL need not be utilized at all to generate appropriate internal clock signals from an external tester.
