GTL+ INTERFACE SPECIFICATION
The maximum acceptable Flight Time is determined on a net-by-net basis, and is usually differ-
ent for each unique driver-receiver pair. The maximum acceptable Flight Time can be calculated
using the following equation (known as the setup time equation):
T
FLIGHT-MAX
< T
PERIOD-MIN
- (T
CO-MAX
+T
SU-MIN
+T
CLK_SKEW-MAX
+T
CLK_JITTER-MAX
)
Where, T
CO-MAX
is the maximum clock-to-out delay of a driving agent, T
SU-MIN
is the mini-
mum setup time required by a receiver on the same net, T
CLK_SKEW-MAX
is the maximum an-
ticipated time difference between the driver’s and the receiver’s clock inputs, and T
CLK_JITTER-
MAX
is maximum anticipated edge-to-edge phase jitter. The above equation should be checked
for all pairs of devices on all nets of a bus.
The minimum acceptable Flight Time is determined by the following equation (known as the
hold time equation):
T
HOLD-MIN
< T
FLIGHT-MIN
+T
CO-MIN
- T
CLK_SKEW-MAX
Where, T
CO-MIN
is the minimum clock-to-out delay of the driving agent, T
HOLD-MIN
is the min-
imum hold time required by the receiver, and T
CLK_SKEW-MAX
is defined above. The Hold time
equation is independent of clock jitter, since data is released by the driver and is required to be
held at the receiver on the same clock edge.

GENERAL GTL+ I/O BUFFER SPECIFICATION
This specification identifies the key parameters for the driver, receiver, and package that must be
met to operate in the system environment described in the previous section. All specifications
must be met over all possible operating conditions including temperature, voltage, and semicon-
ductor process. This information is included for designers of components for a GTL+ bus.

I/O Buffer DC Specification
Table 12-4 contains the I/O Buffer DC parameters.
