PCI Express Application Note
PCI Express jitter analysis methodology models the system
response to reference clock jitter. The below block diagram shows the
most frequently used Common Clock Architecture in which a copy of
the reference clock is provided to both ends of the PCI Express Link.
In the jitter analysis, the Tx and Rx serdes PLLs are modeled as well
as the phase interpolator in the receiver. These transfer functions are
called H1, H2, and H3 respectively. The overall system transfer
function at the receiver is:
Hts = H3s  H1s – H2s
The jitter spectrum seen by the receiver is the result of applying this
system transfer function to the clock spectrum X(s) and is:
Ys = Xs  H3s  H1s – H2s
In order to generate time domain jitter numbers, an inverse Fourier
Transform is performed on X(s)*H3(s) * [H1(s) - H2(s)].
For PCI Express Gen 1, one transfer function is defined and the
evaluation is performed over the entire spectrum: DC to Nyquist (e.g
for a 100MHz reference clock: 0Hz to 50MHz) and the jitter result is
reported in peak-peak. For PCI Express Gen 2, two transfer functions
are defined with 2 evaluation ranges and the final jitter number is
reported in rms. The two evaluation ranges for PCI Express Gen 2
are 10kHz - 1.5MHz (Low Band) and 1.5MHz - Nyquist (High Band).
The below plots show the individual transfer functions as well as the
overall transfer function Ht. The respective -3 dB pole frequencies for
each transfer function are labeled as F1 for transfer function H1, F2
for H2, and F3 for H3. For a more thorough overview of PCI Express
jitter analysis methodology, please refer to IDT Application Note PCI
