Claim 0:
1. A method for performing a Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) operation, the method comprising:
performing a first BIST operation by receiving, by a first receiver lane configured to receive transmitted data from a first lane via one or more first input terminals, a first transmitter (TX) clock from a second receiver lane configured to receive transmitted data from a second lane via one or more second input terminals, wherein the second receiver lane is configured to function as a synthesized clock source;
transmitting, by a transmitter component of the first receiver lane, a test data sequence, wherein the test data sequence is generated based on a test data pattern and the first TX clock; and
determining, by the first receiver lane, that the first BIST operation is successful if a received data sequence, received by at least one receiver component of the first receiver lane, is matching the test data sequence transmitted by the transmitter component.
