Steve the loop B/W has to do with: The available repetitive data rate. Reasonable phase / gain margin for the loop filter. Each of the various data transmission standards are different in the way that they can mess up a CDR, with the net result that many standards need very tall ratios between Fbaud and Fcorner. Basically, you can easily achieve very stable operation by setting Fcorner = Frepeat / 5. With some care you can set it to Frepeat / 3, where Frepeat is the guaranteed lowest repetitive full 1-0 cycle. For a pure 8B/10Q coded link, Fcorner can be as high as Fbaud / 30 and work well. As Chris Cheng has bemoaned, TIE and jitter in general both get worse with taller ratios as the VCO drifts ( or is disturbed by things like PDN noise ) over more bit intervals without the benefit of corrective feedback.
