Unless otherwise noted, all specifications in this table apply to all processor core frequencies based on a 266

The period specified here is the average period. A given period may vary from this specification as governed
by the period stability specification (T2). Min period specification is based on
-300 PPM deviation from a 3.75 ns period. Max period specification is based on the summation of +300 PPM
deviation from a 3.75 ns period and a +0.5% maximum variance due to spread spectrum clocking.

In this context, period stability is defined as the worst case timing difference between successive crossover
voltages. In other words, the largest absolute difference between adjacent clock periods must be less than
the period stability.

Matching applies to rising edge rate for Clock and falling edge rate for Clock#. It is measured using a
±75 mV window centered on the average cross point where Clock rising meets Clock# falling. The median
cross point is used to calculate the voltage thresholds the oscilloscope is to use for the edge rate
calculations.
