Notes: 1. For details, refer to the JEDEC specification “FB-DIMM High Speed Differential PTP Link at 1.5V”.
2. The nominal reference clock frequency is determined by the data frequency of the link divided by 2 times
the fixed PLL multiplication factor for the FB-DIMM channel (6:1). fdata = 2000MHz for a 4.0Gbps FB-
DIMM channel and so on.
3. Measured with SSC disabled. Enabling SSC will reduce the reference clock frequency.
4. Not all FB-DIMM agents will support all frequencies; compliance to the frequency specifications is only
required for those data rates that are supported by the device under test.
5. Measurement taken from single-ended waveform.
6. Measurement taken from differential waveform.
7. Defined as the maximum instantaneous voltage including overshoot.
8. Defined as the minimum instantaneous voltage including undershoot.
9. Measured at the crossing point where the instantaneous voltage value of the rising edge of REFCLK+
equals the falling edge of REFCLK-.
10. Refers to the total variation from the lowest crossing point to the highest, regardless of which edge is
crossing. Refers to all crossing points for this measurement.
11. Defined as the total variation of all crossing voltages of rising REFCLK+ and falling REFCLK-. This is the
maximum allowed variance in for any particular system.
12. The majority of the reference clock AC common mode occurs at high frequency (i.e., the reference clock
frequency).
