2.2.3.1 Distortion

Purpose: To make sure that the peak distortion is within the specified bounds.

Pass Condition: The peak distortion of the output differential signal should be less than 10 mV when sampled with TX_TCLK for at least 60% of the Unit Interval (UI) for 2047 consecutive samples at an arbitrary phase.

Specific Test Setup: Verify the correct test fixture connections.

A disturbing signal of 2.7 Vpp at 20.8 MHz is required to pass Distortion test (please see Ethernet Compliance Software’s Manual for setup).

Also, verify that the Ethernet Compliance software is adhering to the “at least 60% of Unit Interval (UI) for 10 mV”, not 100% (for example, TDSET uses 100% of UI, so failures are seen even with compliant parts).
