Note 1: Guaranteed by design and characterization, T
Note 2: Deterministic jitter is measured with a repeating K28.5 pattern [00111110101100000101] for 1.25Gbps to 8.5Gbps data.
At 10.32Gbps and 11.3Gbps, a repeating K28.5 plus 59 0s and K28.5 plus 59 1s pattern is used. Deterministic jitter is
defined as the arithmetic sum of pulse-width distortion (PWD) and pattern-dependent jitter (PDJ).
Note 3: LOS1_EN = 1, data rates of 1.25Gbps to 8.5Gbps with K28.5 pattern, and 6.4GHz input filter. For data rates of 10.32Gbps
to 11.3Gbps, the input filter is 12.5GHz and the pattern is PRBS23-1.
Note 4: Measurement includes an input AC-coupling capacitor of 100nF and C
is switched between two amplitudes: Signal_ON and Signal_OFF.
1) Receiver operates at sensitivity level plus 1dB power penalty
a) Signal_OFF = 0
Signal_ON = (+8dB) + 10log(min_assert_level)
b) Signal_ON = (+1dB) + 10log(max_deassert_level)
Signal_OFF = 0
2) Receiver operates at overload
Signal_OFF = 0
Signal_ON = 1.2V
max_deassert_level and min_assert_level are measured for one SET_LOS setting
Note 5: LOS1_EN = 0, LOS2_EN = 1, DC voltage applied to the RPMIN input.
(VCC = 3.3V, TA = +25NC, unless otherwise noted. Registers are set to default values, unless otherwise noted, and the 3-wire interface
is static during measurements.)
