The other detailed AC requirements of the SerDes Reference Clocks is defined by each interface protocol
based on application usage. Refer to the following sections for detailed information:

Section 8.3.2, “AC Requirements for SGMII SD2_REF_CLK and SD2_REF_CLK”
Section 16.2, “AC Requirements for PCI Express SerDes Reference Clocks”
Section 17.2, “AC Requirements for Serial RapidIO SD1_REF_CLK and SD1_REF_CLK”
15.2.4.1 Spread Spectrum Clock
SD1_REF_CLK/SD1_REF_CLK are designed to work with a spread spectrum clock (+0 to –0.5%
spreading at 30–33 KHz rate is allowed), assuming both ends have same reference clock. For better results,
a source without significant unintended modulation should be used.
SD2_REF_CLK/SD2_REF_CLK are not to be used with, and should not be clocked by, a spread spectrum
clock source.
