Note 3: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 4: An external capacitor at APCFILT1 and APCFILT2 is used to set the time constant.
Note 5: For both data inputs DATA+, DATA- and clock inputs CLK+, CLK-.
Note 6: Measured using a 2.7Gbps repeating 0000 0000 1111 1111 pattern.
Note 7: For pulse width, PW = 100%: Rp = Rn = 500Ω (or open) or PWC+ = PWC- ≈ +0.5V. For PW > 100%: Rp > Rn or PWC+ >
PWC-. For PW < 100%: Rp < Rn or PWC+ < PWC-.
Note 8: Measured using a 2
