Abstract

A linearity test system for a chip, a linearity signal providing device, and a linearity test method for the chip are provided. The linearity test method for the chip includes steps as follows: providing a reference clock signal and a receiver input signal to a chip under test, wherein the reference clock signal and the receiver input signal have a phase difference in time domain; and determining a linearity of a phase interpolator of the chip under test based on a plurality of phase signals of the chip under test corresponding to the reference clock signal and the receiver input signal.
