Rx PLL has a VCO also whose Transfer Function is high pass. So if the Rx PLL BW 
is more, you will get the phase noise tracked out of VCO. So it's a trade off 
between Input Transer Function  (having Low Pass response) and Noise Transfer 
Function of VCO ( having high pass response).

Hi Vinod,

When you say "RX PLL bandwidth (CDR) is typically much smaller than ~", it 
sounds like to me you are mentioning the cutoff frequency(Fc) of Rx jitter 
transfer function, which shows high-pass behavior. If that is the case, Fc is 
not the same as CDR BW. Indeed, Fc is pretty much the same as the unity gain BW 
of the open loop TF of CDR loop. Hence, the -3dB BW of the closed loop TF is 
higher than that(typically 2~3 times of Fc).

You cannot set the BW as high as you want because the phase response is the 
also a critical factor for your system. In addition, it is actually the open 
loop gain that attenuates the SSC, whose its frequency is way lower than the 
CDR BW.

Best Regards,
TK

Subject: [SI-LIST] RX PLL bandwidth < TX PLL Bandwidth

HI All,
I have generic question. In many serial IO standards like USB3 or USB2 etc,  RX 
PLL bandwidth (CDR) is typically much smaller than the TX PLL bandwidth.

1) It is good to have smaller Tx PLL bandwidth so as to reduce the reference 
clock jitter and at the same time pass the SSC if used. So what is the need for 
higher Tx PLL bandwidth?

2) It is good to have higher Rx PLL bandwidth so as to track the jitter and 
also pass SSC. Ideally Rx PLL bandwidth should be > than Tx PLL bandwidth so as 
to completely track the Tx jitter and channel jitter, but all IO standards have 
the reverse. Is there any reason for the same.

Regards
Vinod A H
