5.1.5 Time Domain PCIe Measurement Result

Figure 5-6 is the time domain capture of the OUT0_P and OUT0_N outputs of the LMK3H0102 as measured by the oscilloscope for the non-SSC case. These results are exported to text files, which can be read by the Texas Instruments PCIe Reference Clock Analysis Tool and analyzed for compliance.
