Specified at the package pins into a timing and voltage compliant test setup.
The V pin specification reflects a target eye height at the pad equal to 70 mV.
RX-DIFFp-p
Specified at the package pins into a timing and voltage compliance test setup.
The single-pulse mask provides sufficient symbol energy for reliable RX reception. Each symbol must comply with both the
single-pulse mask and the cumulative eye mask.
The relative amplitude ratio limit between adjacent symbols prevents excessive inter-symbol interference in the Rx. Each
symbol must comply with the peak amplitude ratio with regard to both the preceding and subsequent symbols.
This number does not include the effects of SSC or reference clock jitter.

The T
pin specification reflects a target eye width at the pad equal to 0.45 UI.
RX-Eye-MIN
pin specification reflects a target max deterministic jitter at the pad equal to 0.45 UI.
RX-DJ-DD
Defined as the dual-dirac deterministic jitter at the receiver input.
10. Allows for 15 mV DC offset between transmit and receive devices.
11. The received differential signal must satisfy both this ratio as well as the absolute maximum AC peak-to-peak common mode
specification. For example, if V
is 200 mV, the maximum AC peak-to-peak common mode is the lesser of
RX-CM-ACp-p
RX-DIFFp-p
(200 mV * 0.45 = 90 mV) and V
.
12. One of the components that contribute to the deterioration of the return loss is the ESD structure which needs to be carefully
designed.
13. The termination small signal resistance; tolerance over the entire signaling voltage range shall not exceed ± 5 Ω.
14. Measured from the reference clock edge to the center of the input eye. This specification must be met across specified voltage
and temperature ranges for a single component. Drift rate of change is significantly below the tracking capability of the
receiver.

Platform Environmental Control Interface (PECI)
DC Specifications
PECI is an Intel proprietary interface that provides a communication channel between
Intel processors and chipset components to external thermal monitoring devices. The
Intel Xeon Processor E7-8800/4800/2800 Product Families processor contains a Digital
Thermal Sensor (DTS) that reports a relative die temperature as an offset from TCC
