To test the current sink, the port to test has to be defined as input. Therefore, the enable signal of the TIOL111 device is tied low, and the TX signal has to be at 3.3 V to enable the current sink. A variable voltage is then applied on the CQ line of the port. The testcase TCM_PHYL_INTF_ILLM defines the test procedure. It is necessary, that the current is below 15 mA below 5.1 V and from 5 to 15 mA for voltage from 5.1 V up to 30 V.
As the current of the sink is within the given range, the test is passed.
