Correlation Strategy<br />

• Correlate everything up to the RX pad by<br />

overlaying waveforms<br />

– TX output impedance, slew rate, voltages<br />

– TX equalization<br />

– Channel model<br />

• Correlate RX behavior based on eye height /<br />

width at different probability levels<br />

• Include jitter / noise sources once TX / channel /<br />

RX behaviors are correlated<br />

• Target correlation was <strong>with</strong>in 5% of margins<br />
