DAC1 Minimum Eye Pattern
The above graph demonstrates that the DAC1 can operate with an eye pattern considerably smaller than
specified by the AES. In addition, the above plots show that while the AES minimum eye pattern specifications
are barely met at the end of 1000 feet of Category 5 UTP cable, the DAC1 receivers have enough sensitivity to
allow reliable operation. The jitter produced by this connection is removed entirely by the Benchmark UltraLock™
clock circuits and the DAC1 operates at full-specified performance.
