5.8.3.2. RSKM Equation

The RSKM equation expresses the relationship between RSKM, TCCS, and SW.
Figure 80. RSKM Equation


Conventions used for the equation:

  • RSKM—the timing margin between the clock input of the receiver and the data input sampling window, and the jitter induced from core noise and I/O switching noise.
  • Time unit interval (TUI)—time period of the serial data.
  • SW—the period of time that the input data must be stable to ensure that the LVDS receiver samples the data successfully. The SW is a device property and varies according to device speed grade.
  • TCCS—the timing difference between the fastest and the slowest output edges across channels driven by the same PLL. The TCCS measurement includes the tCO variation, clock, and clock skew.
Note: If there is additional board channel-to-channel skew, consider the total receiver channel-to-channel skew (RCCS) instead of TCCS. .

You must calculate the RSKM value, based on the data rate and device, to determine if the LVDS receiver can sample the data:

  • A positive RSKM value, after deducting transmitter jitter, indicates that the LVDS receiver can sample the data properly.
  • A negative RSKM value, after deducting transmitter jitter, indicates that the LVDS receiver cannot sample the data properly.
