Jeffrey, waveform asymmetry at the transmitter is=20 part of the transmitter skew budget. Asymmetric=20 response is part of the receiver budget. The=20 interconnect budget needs to include all ( and=20 only ) flight effects including push-out /=20 pull-in due to cross talk. Cross talk is=20 labelled XTK and budgeted at 55ps for data signal interconnects. Steve.
