3.4.3.2.1.11 SYCA – Symbol Check Configuration for Path A

Name: SYCA
Offset: 0x09E
Reset: 0x00

The symbol check duration and timing are configured by the settings in this register for path A. This register must only be modified if the block receiving the settings is disabled (RDPR.PRPTA = 1). Modifying the settings during operation may lead to unstable operation.

Bits 7:4 – SYTLA[3:0] Symbol Timing Limit for Path A

SYTLA sets the timing limits for the allowed tolerance of the actual symbol edge transition versus the expected position. The expected symbol edge position is derived from the clock recovery circuit. The following table shows the allowed tolerance as a percentage of the symbol duration. Values below 25% are not recommended because the edge to edge jitter can be in this range and therefore might lead to false error indication.

Bits 3:0 – SYCSA[3:0] Symbol Check Size for Data Path A

The SYCSA bits configure the number of symbols checked for the symbol check OK signals (SOTSA.MANOA, SOTSA.SYTOA, SOTSA.AMPOA, SOTSA.CAROA). A SYCSA value of 6 is a good setting for avoiding unwanted wake-ups. Lower values lead to laxer checking; higher values subject the incoming signal to a more severe check.
