5.6.2.6
Transmit Jitter
The SerDes core total transmit jitter, including contributions from the intermediate frequency PLL,
is comprised of the following two components:
•
A deterministic component attributed to the SerDes core’s architectural characteristics
•
A random component attributed to random thermal noise effects
Since the thermal noise component is random and statistical in nature, the SerDes core total
transmit jitter must be specified as a function of BER.
5.6.2.7
Receive Jitter
The SerDes core total receiver jitter, including contributions from the intermediate frequency PLL,
is comprised of the following two components:
•
A deterministic component attributed to the SerDes core architectural characteristics
•
A random component attributed to random thermal noise effects.
