High-Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI)
10 High-Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI)
This section describes the common portion of SerDes DC electrical specifications, which is the DC
requirement for SerDes reference Clocks. The SerDes data lane’s transmitter and receiver reference
circuits are also shown.
10.1
The SerDes utilizes differential signaling to transfer data across the serial link. This section defines terms
used in the description and specification of differential signals.

description. The figure shows waveform for either a transmitter output (TXn and TXn) or a receiver input
(RXn and RXn). Each signal swings between A Volts and B Volts where A > B.
Using this waveform, the definitions are as follows. To simplify illustration, the following definitions
assume that the SerDes transmitter and receiver operate in a fully symmetrical differential signaling
environment.

The transmitter output signals and the receiver input signals TXn, TXn, RXn and RXn each have
a peak-to-peak swing of A – B Volts. This is also referred as each signal wire’s Single-Ended
Swing.

The Differential Input Voltage (or Swing) of the receiver, V

The peak value of the differential transmitter output signal or the differential receiver input signal
is defined as Differential Peak Voltage, V
Since the differential output signal of the transmitter and the differential input signal of the receiver
each range from A – B to –(A – B) Volts, the peak-to-peak value of the differential transmitter
output signal or the differential receiver input signal is defined as Differential Peak-to-Peak
Voltage, V
amplitude, or twice of the differential peak. For example, the output differential peak-peak voltage
can also be calculated as V
The differential waveform is constructed by subtracting the inverting signal (TXn, for example)
from the non-inverting signal (TXn, for example) within a differential pair. There is only one signal
trace curve in a differential waveform. The voltage represented in the differential waveform is not
referenced to ground. Refer to
