Abstract

An example apparatus includes multiplexer circuitry configured to couple a communication module to at least one of a data bus input or a test signal; and embedded pattern generator (EPG) circuitry coupled to the multiplexer circuitry, the EPG circuitry including: clock divider circuitry including a plurality of clock outputs, the clock divider circuitry configured to be coupled to an output of a clock, the plurality of clock outputs configured to be of a frequency equal to a division of a frequency of the output of the clock; a multiplexer including a multiplexer output, the multiplexer configured to couple one of the plurality of clock outputs to the multiplexer output; and signal generator circuitry including an input clock, an EPG input, and a plurality of data outputs, the input clock coupled to the multiplexer output, the signal generator circuitry configured to generate a data stream.
