Correct a typo.
What I meant is when the Rx_Rj, Rx_Sj and Rx_DCD impairments are internal to
Rx, model maker can combine them into Rx_Clock_Recovery_Rj,
Rx_Clock_Recovery_Sj and Rx_Clock_Recovery_DCD for statistical simulation, and
include them in clock_times in time-domain simulations.

Hi,
To add to Fangyi's first comment, users determine the amounts of jitter from
the standards (for example PCIe, SFI) that describe the max amounts to be used
to stress the Rx.
WMK> You are correct. In this case the User/EDA tool will specify Rx_Rj, Rx_Sj
and Rx_DCD from the particular standard.

Walter;
Thanks for the answers. Please see my further comment/question in brown.
How would a model user know how to set Rx_Rj, Rx_Sj and Rx_DCD?
The BIRD states that they are external to the receiver, so it's expected that
model users determine and inject (through simulator) such jitters into
simulations.
In some cases, for example a forwarded clock the User/EDA tool can analyze the
forwarded clock signal, in which case the EDA tool would be directed to use
these jitter impairments.
However, if the reference clock is generated inside the Rx chip, then the model
maker does know these jitter impairments, and can set them inside the AMI model.
In that case they are not external to Rx. Can't they be combined into
Rx_Clock_Recovery_Rj, Rx_Clock_Recovery_Sj and Rx_Clock_Recovery_DCD? (Sj could
be tricky but can be handled)
WMK> Are only Rx_Clock_Recovery_Rj, Rx_Clock_Recovery_Sj and
Rx_Clock_Recovery_DCD Are only used in statistical simulation (unless the
perverse case when Rx AMI_GetWave does not return clock_times). Rx_Rj, Rx_Sj
and Rx_DCD are used in both statistical and time domain time domain
simulations, so cannot be combined with Rx_Clock_Recovery_Rj,
Rx_Clock_Recovery_Sj and Rx_Clock_Recovery_DCD.

Hi, Walter;
I wonder why Rx_Rj, Rx_Sj and Rx_DCD are Rx model parameters. They are defined
as impairments external to receiver and serve the purpose of jitter budget
analyses. So they are simulation inputs but not intrinsic Rx parameters. They
should be set by model users instead of model developers. EDA tools can include
them in simulations by allowing users to specify their values from the
simulator.

Fangyi

Vladimir,
We are planning to discuss the Jitter BIRD Tuesday. I think we can resolve all
of the questions at that time.

Walter,
After reading your comments, I'm more satisfied with the document. Otherwise
it's hard to understand some things.
Still, I have a few remaining suggestions, shown in a few additional comments.

Arpad,
I am including my response to Vladimir's comments in the enclosed document. I
stand by my earlier statement that I believe the current specification defines
each parameter mathematically precisely and indicates how the parameters are to
be used in either the statistical or time domain simulations. I would not
object to adding additional words would be helpful to explain the precise
mathematical definitions with "C" code or other standard statistical function
definitions.

Walter,
Did you look at the comments Vladimir inserted in the
attached Word document? I think addressing those would
be a good start in this discussion. But there are some
specifics even in the body of the email from Vladimir:
"The Bird does not seem to be logically complete (does not cover all cases,
such as Time domain and Statistical flow), or does not provide all necessary
parameters affecting the results (such as either giving frequency content of Tx
Gaussian jitter, or making it defined as white uncorrelated jitter, etc.) "
Thanks,
Arpad

Arpad, Vladimir,
There was great effort to define each of the parameters in strict mathematical
terms. Please indicate specific parameters that the BIRD does not either define
mathematically precisely, or indicate how the parameters are to be used in
either the statistical or time domain simulations.

Here is the email (with attachment) I mentioned in the
ATM meeting today. There was no response to it since

Walter and All,
I am forwarding Vladimir's comments on BIRD 123.2.2 to this
list for discussion. Please look at his comments which are
in the attached Word document. Since Vladimir is also on
this email list, please direct your answers, questions and
comments to him. (I don't want to be the middle man in such
conversations...).
The general problem is ambiguity of given definitions when it comes to
implementation in EDA tool.
The Bird does not seem to be logically complete (does not cover all cases, such
as Time domain and Statistical flow), or does not provide all necessary
parameters affecting the results (such as either giving frequency content of Tx
Gaussian jitter, or making it defined as white uncorrelated jitter, etc.)
Thanks,
Arpad
