1
The output skew is the difference between any two similar delay paths while operating at the same voltage and temperature.
2
Measured at the rising edge of the clock signal; calculated using the SNR of the ADC method.
3
This is the amount of added jitter measured at the output while two related, asynchronous, differential frequencies are applied to the inputs.
