Sequence pattern generation device and transmission start timing control method thereof

Abstract

A sequence pattern generation device that can control skew between lanes of a plurality of lanes by controlling a transmission start timing of a sequence pattern of a plurality of outputs. The sequence pattern generation device includes a primary module 2 and a secondary module 3 each having two outputs of data signals, and a device control unit 16 that, in a case where a start of a sequence of the outputs of the data signals is synchronized, sets delay amounts, aligns phases of clocks of the primary module 2 and the secondary module 3, locks phases of clocks of a primary data generation unit 26 of the primary module 2 and a secondary data generation unit 36 of the secondary module 3, and starts the sequence with the delay amounts set in the primary data generation unit 26 and the secondary data generation unit 36.
