System Clock Parameters
Values based on systems running at recommended supply voltages and operating temperatures, as shown in Tables 16 and 15.
Note: Refclk jitter compliant to PCIe Gen2 Common Clock architecture is adequate for the GCLKN/P[x] and PE[x]CLKN/P pins of this IDT
PCIe switch. This same jitter specification is applicable when interfacing the switch to another IDT switch in a Separate (Non-Common)
Clock architecture.
