ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, each of a plurality of stimulus signals is sequentially driven onto a number of stimulus signal paths. Each of the plurality of stimulus signals has a trigger edge. As each stimulus signal is driven onto the number of stimulus signal paths, a victim signal having a sensor edge is driven onto a victim signal path. After driving a corresponding stimulus and victim signal, the victim signal is sampled at or about a timing of the signal's sensor edge to thereby characterize the signal's sensor edge. The sensor edge characterizations corresponding to the different stimulus signals are then analyzed to quantify a timing error induced by crosstalk between the victim signal path and one or more of the stimulus signal paths.
