The JEDEC standard for SSTl and HSTL I/O standards defines both the AC and DC input signal
values.
■ The AC values indicate the voltage levels at which the receiver must meet its timing
specifications.
■ The DC values indicate the voltage levels at which the final logic state of the receiver is
unambiguously defined.
After the receiver input crosses the AC value, the receiver changes to the new logic state. The
new logic state is then maintained as long as the input stays beyond the DC threshold. This
approach is intended to provide predictable receiver timing in the presence of input waveform
ringing.
SW (Sampling
Window)
High-speed I/O Block: The period of time during which the data must be valid to capture it
correctly. The setup and hold times determine the ideal strobe position in the sampling
window.
tC
TCCS (Channel-
to-channel-skew)
tcin
High-speed receiver and transmitter input and output clock period.
High-speed I/O Block: The timing difference between the fastest and slowest output edges,
including tCO variation and clock skew. The clock is included in the TCCS measurement.
Delay from the clock pad to the I/O input register.
tCO
tcout
Delay from the clock pad to the I/O output.
Delay from the clock pad to the I/O output register.
tDUTY
High-speed I/O Block: Duty cycle on the high-speed transmitter output clock.
T
tFALL
tH
Signal high-to-low transition time (80 to 20%).
Input register hold time.
Timing Unit
High-speed I/O block: The timing budget allowed for skew, propagation delays, and the data
Interval (TUI)
sampling window. (TUI = 1/(Receiver Input Clock Frequency Multiplication Factor) = tC/w).
tINJITTER
Period jitter on the PLL clock input.
tOUTJITTER_DEDCLK Period jitter on the dedicated clock output driven by a PLL.
tOUTJITTER_IO
Period jitter on the general purpose I/O driven by a PLL.
tpllcin
Delay from the PLL inclk pad to the I/O input register.
tpllcout
Delay from the PLL inclk pad to the I/O output register.
