NOTE: Electrical parameters are guaranteed over the specified ambient operating temperature range, which is established when the
device is mounted in a test socket with maintained transverse airflow greater than 500 lfpm. The device will meet specifications after
thermal equilibrium has been reached under these conditions.
NOTE 1: Measured from V
DD
/2 input cross point to the differential output crossing point.
NOTE 2: Measurement taken from differential waveform.
NOTE 3: Measurement from -150mV to +150mV on the differential waveform (derived from QA minus nQA). The signal must be
monotonic through the measurement region for rise and fall time. The 300mV measurement window is centered on the differential zero
crossing.
NOTE 4: T
STABLE
is the time the differential clock must maintain a minimum ±150mV differential voltage after rising/falling edges before it
is allowed to drop back into the V
RB
±100 differential range. See Parameter Measurement Information Section.
NOTE 5: Measurement taken from single-ended waveform.
NOTE 6: Defined as the maximum instantaneous voltage including overshoot. See Parameter Measurement Information Section.
NOTE 7: Defined as the minimum instantaneous voltage including undershoot. See Parameter Measurement Information Section.
NOTE 8: Measured at crossing point where the instantaneous voltage value of the rising edge of QA equals the Falling edge of nQA.
See Parameter Measurement Information Section
NOTE 9: Refers to the total variation from the lowest crossing point to the highest, regardless of which edge is crossing. Refers to all
crossing points for this measurement. See Parameter Measurement Information Section.
NOTE 10: Defined as the total variation of all crossing voltage of Rising QA and Falling nQA. This is the maximum allowed variance in the
V
CROSS
for any particular system. See Parameter Measurement Information Section.
NOTE 11: Input duty cycle must be 50%.

Additive Phase Jitter (HCSL)
The spectral purity in a band at a specific offset from the
fundamental compared to the power of the fundamental is called
the
dBc Phase Noise.
This value is normally expressed using a
Phase noise plot and is most often the specified plot in many
applications. Phase noise is defined as the ratio of the noise power
present in a 1Hz band at a specified offset from the fundamental
frequency to the power value of the fundamental. This ratio is
expressed in decibels (dBm) or a ratio of the power in the 1Hz band
to the power in the fundamental. When the required offset is
specified, the phase noise is called a
dBc
value, which simply
means dBm at a specified offset from the fundamental. By
investigating jitter in the frequency domain, we get a better
understanding of its effects on the desired application over the
entire time record of the signal. It is mathematically possible to
calculate an expected bit error rate given a phase noise plot.
Additive Phase Jitter @ 100MHz
12kHz to 20MHz = 0.29ps (typical)
SSB Phase Noise dBc/Hz
Offset from Carrier Frequency (Hz)
As with most timing specifications, phase noise measurements
has issues relating to the limitations of the equipment. Often the
noise floor of the equipment is higher than the noise floor of the
device. This is illustrated above. The device meets the noise floor
of what is shown, but can actually be lower. The phase noise is
dependent on the input source and measurement equipment.
