Electrical Specifications
7. Ringback Margin is defined as the absolute voltage difference between the maximum Rising Edge Ringback
and the maximum Falling Edge Ringback.
8. Threshold Region is defined as a region entered around the crossing point voltage in which the differential
receiver switches. It includes input threshold hysteresis.
9. The crossing point must meet the absolute and relative crossing point specifications simultaneously.
10. V
