UI (1) Each UI is 400 ps ±300 ppm. UI does not account for
RXP, RXN 399.88 400.12 ps
Unit interval SSC dictated variations.

Minimum receiver eye width MAX-JITTER = 1 – TRX-EYE = 0.6 UI
Jitter is defined as the measurement variation of the
crossing points (VRX-DIFFp-p = 0 V) in relation to
TRX-EYE-MEDIAN-to-MAX-JITTER (2) (3) recovered TX UI. A recovered TX UI is calculated over
Maximum time between the jitter median RXP, RXN 0.3 UI 3500 consecutive UIs of sample data. Jitter is
and maximum deviation from the median measured using all edges of the 250 consecutive UIs
in the center of the 3500 UIs used for calculating the
TX UI.
BWRX-PLL-HI (4) RXP, RXN 22 MHz Second order PLL jitter transfer bounding function.
Maximum Rx PLL bandwidth
(1) No test load is necessarily associated with this value.
(2) Specified at the measurement point and measured over any 250 consecutive UIs. A test load must be used as the RX device when
taking measurements. If the clocks to the RX and TX are not derived from the same reference clock, then the TX UI recovered from
3500 consecutive UIs is used as a reference for the eye diagram.
(3) A TRX-EYE = 0.40 UI provides for a total sum of 0.60 UI deterministic and random jitter budget for the transmitter and interconnect
collected any 250 consecutive UIs. The TRX-EYE-MEDIAN-to-MAX-JITTER specification ensures a jitter distribution in which the
median and the maximum deviation from the median is less than half of the total UI jitter budget collected over any 250 consecutive TX
UIs. It must be noted that the median is not the same as the mean. The jitter median describes the point in time where the number of
jitter points on either side is approximately equal as opposed to the averaged time value. If the clocks to the RX and TX are not derived
from the same reference clock, then the TX UI recovered from 3500 consecutive UIs must be used as the reference for the eye
diagram.
(4) A single PLL bandwidth and peaking value of 1.5 to 22 MHz and 3 dB are defined.
