Jitter is defined as the measurement variation of the
crossing points (VTX-DIFFp-p = 0 V) in relation to a
recovered TX UI. A recovered TX UI is calculated
over 3500 consecutive unit intervals of sample
data. Jitter is measured using all edges of the 250
consecutive UI in the center of the 3500 UI used for
calculating the TX UI. See Notes 2 and 3.

Electrical Idle Exit after successfully receiving an
Electrical Idle ordered set

UI
After sending an Electrical Idle ordered set, the
Transmitter must meet all Electrical Idle
Specifications within this time. This is considered a
debounce time for the Transmitter to meet
Electrical Idle after transitioning from L0.
