  • High-speed serial interface bridge adapter for signal integrity verification
    Patent number: 8782477
    Abstract: A loopback card includes a connector configured to connect to an IO interface and emulate a storage device interface. The connector includes a port configured to receive a set of signals from the IO interface and transmit them to a redriver. The connector is configured to receive the set of signals from the redriver and transmit them from the redriver to the IO interface. The connector includes control signal inputs configured to receive control signals from the IO interface. The connector further includes one or more logic gates configured to receive the control signals. The one or more logic gates apply a logic operation on the control signals to generate an output and route the output to the IO interface through the connector. The redriver is operably connected to the port and configured to receive the set of signals from the port and transmit them back to the port.
