PRBS mode setup for the MAX9257/MAX9258 evaluation kit

This application note details how to use the internal BER testing (BERT) feature of the MAX9257/MAX9258 Serdes in its pseudorandom bit sequence (PRBS) mode. This integrated feature of the Serdes chipset allows quick verification of full functionality of the link, and allows a first look at the quality of the signal transmission across the link without requiring the system engineer to design a BER/PRBS system.
