Additive Phase Jitter

Table 7. PCIe Refclk Phase Jitter (CLKSEL_tri = 0 or 1, Unselected CLKIN Off) – Normal Conditions [1][2][3]

1. The Refclk jitter is measured after applying the filter functions found in the PCI Express Base Specification 7.0. For the exact measurement setup,

see Test Loads. The worst case results for each data rate are summarized in this table. Equipment noise is removed from all measurements.

2. Jitter measurements are made with a capture of at least 100,000 clock cycles captured by a real-time oscilloscope (RTO) with a sample rate of

20GS/s or greater. Broadband oscilloscope noise must be minimized in the measurement. The measured PP jitter is used (no extrapolation) for

RTO measurements. Alternately, jitter measurements can be made with a Phase Noise Analyzer (PNA) extending (flat) and integrating and folding

the frequency content up to an offset from the carrier frequency of at least 200MHz (at 300MHz absolute frequency) below the Nyquist frequency.

For PNA measurements for the 2.5GT/s data rate, the RMS jitter is converted to peak-to-peak jitter using a multiplication factor of 8.83.

3. Differential input swing ≥ 1600mV and input slew rate ≥ 3.5V/ns. The rms sum of the source jitter and the additive jitter (arithmetic sum for PCIe

Gen1) must be less than the jitter specification listed

4. SSC spurs from the fundamental and harmonics are removed up to a cutoff frequency of 2MHz taking care to minimize removal of any non-SSC

content.

5. Note that 0.7ps RMS is to be used in channel simulations to account for additional noise in a real system.

9. The PCI Express Base Specification 7.0 provides the filters necessary to calculate SRIS jitter values; it does not provide specification limits,

therefore, the reference to this footnote in the Limit column. SRIS values are informative only. A common practice is to split the common clock

budget in half. For 16GT/s data rates and above, the user must choose whether to use the output jitter specification, or the input jitter specification,

which includes an allocation for the jitter added by the channel. Using 32GT/s, the Refclk jitter budget is 150fs RMS. One half of the Refclk jitter

budget is 106fs RMS. At the clock input, the system must deliver 250fs RMS. One half of this value is 177fs RMS. If the clock is placed next to the

PCIe device in an SRIS system, the channel is very short and the user can choose to use this more relaxed value as the jitter limit.
