Current adjust set for VOH = 0.7V. Measurements refer to PCIEX outputs only.
NOTE 1: Defined as skew between outputs at the same supply voltage and with equal load conditions.
Measured at the output differential cross points.
NOTE 2: Defined as the skew between outputs on different devices operating at the same supply voltages and with
equal load conditions. Using the same type of inputs on each device, the outputs are measured at VDD/2.
NOTE 3: This parameter is defined in accordance with JEDEC Standard 65.
