Each transceiver channel in the Cyclone IV GX device contains modules for pattern
generator and verifier. Using these built-in features, you can verify the functionality of
the functional blocks in the transceiver channel without requiring user logic. The self
test functionality is provided as an optional mechanism for debugging transceiver
channels.
There are three types of supported pattern generators and verifiers:

The self-test features are only supported in Basic mode.

Built-in self test (BIST) incremental data generator and verifier—test the complete
transmitter PCS and receiver PCS datapaths for bit errors with parallel loopback
before the PMA blocks.
Pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) generator and verifier—the PRBS
generator and verifier interface with the serializer and deserializer in the PMA
blocks. The advantage of using a PRBS data stream is that the randomness yields
an environment that stresses the transmission medium. In the data stream, you
can observe both random jitter and deterministic jitter using a time interval
analyzer, bit error rate tester, or oscilloscope.
High frequency and low frequency pattern generator—the high frequency
patterns generate alternate ones and zeros and the low frequency patterns
generate five ones and five zeroes. These patterns do not have a corresponding
verifier.
