a
All tests in this table shall be performed with zero-length test load shown in figure 23.
b
The skew measurement shall be made at the midpoint of the transition with a repeating 0101b pattern on the physical
link. The same stable trigger, coherent to the data stream, shall be used for both the Tx+ and Tx- signals. Skew is
defined as the time difference between the means of the midpoint crossing times of the Tx+ signal and the Tx- signal.
c
The transmitter off voltage is the maximum A.C. voltage measured at compliance points when the transmitter is
unpowered or transmitting D.C. idle (e.g., during idle time of an OOB signal).
d
Rise/fall times are measured from 20 % to 80 % of the transition with a repeating 0101b pattern on the physical link.
e
The maximum difference between the V+ and V- A.C. RMS transmitter amplitudes measured on a CJTPAT test
pattern (see 9.5.2.3.3) into the test load shown in figure 23, as a percentage of the average of the V+ and V- A.C.
RMS amplitudes.
f
The maximum difference in the average differential voltage (D.C. offset) component between the burst times and the
idle times of an OOB signal.
g
The maximum difference in the average of the common mode voltage between the burst times and the idle times of
an OOB signal.
