Revision 1.3

The data receivers for all types of devices must be able to properly decode the differential data in the

presence of jitter. The more of the bit time that any data edge can occupy and still be decoded, the more

reliable the data transfer will be. Data receivers are required to decode differential data transitions that

occur in a window plus and minus a nominal quarter bit time from the nominal (centered) data edge

position. Jitter will be caused by the delay mismatches and by mismatches in the source and destination

data rates (frequencies).

The source of data can have some variation (jitter) in the timing of edges of the data transmitted. The time

same capacitive load used for maximum rise and fall times and is measured at the crossover points of the

data lines.

For low-speed transmissions, the jitter time for any consecutive differential data transitions must be within

±25ns and within ±10ns for any set of paired differential data transitions. These jitter numbers include

timing variations due to differential buffer delay, rise/fall time mismatches, internal clock source jitter,

noise and other random effects.

The output rise time and fall time are measured between 10% and 90% of the signal. Edge transition time

and 300ns (maximum) into a capacitive load of 350pF. The rising and falling edges should be transitioning

(monotonic) smoothly when driving the cable to avoid excessive EMI.
