T
Delay of any data lane relative to
the clock lane, as measured at
the end of Tx+ channel. This
parameter is a collective sum of
effects of data clock mismatches
in Tx and on the medium

Notes:
1.
1300mVpp swing is recommended when CPU to CPU length is within 2” of PDG max trace length. Note that
default value is 1100mVpp.
Measure AC CM noise at the TX and decimate to its spectral components. For all spectral components above
3.2GHz, apply the attenuation of the channel at the appropriate frequency. If the resultant AC CM at the
receiver is met after taking out the appropriate spectral components meets the RX AC CM spec then we can
allow the transmitter AC CM noise to pass.

3.
Measured with victim lane running clock pattern, neighboring aggressor lanes running DC pattern and far
aggressor lanes running PRBS pattern.
