12.3.4 Differential Input Cross Point Voltage
To guarantee tight setup and hold times as well as output skew parameters with respect to clock and strobe, each cross point voltage of differential input
signals (CK, CK
and DQS, DQS) must meet the requirements in below table. The differential input cross point voltage V
IX
is measured from the actual
cross point of true and complement signal to the mid level between of V
DD
and V
SS
.

12.4 Slew Rate Definition for Single-ended Input Signals
See "Address / Command Setup, Hold and Derating" for single-ended slew rate definitions for address and command signals.
See "Data Setup, Hold and Slew Rate Derating" for single-ended slew rate definitions for data signals.tDH nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined
as the slew rate between the last crossing of V
IH
(DC)min and the first crossing of V

12.5 Slew Rate Definition for Differential Input Signals
Input slew rate for differential signals (CK, CK and DQS, DQS) are defined and measured as shown in below.
Differential input slew rate definition
Note : The differential signal (i.e. CK - CK
and DQS - DQS) must be linear between these thresholds
