6.4.3 100BASE-TX Transmit Packet Latency Timing
Note: Latency is determined by measuring the time from the first rising edge of TX_CLK occurring after the assertion of
TX_EN to the first bit of the “J” code group as output from the TD± pins.
6.4.4 100BASE-TX Transmit Packet Deassertion Timing
Note: Deassertion is determined by measuring the time from the first rising edge of TX_CLK occurring after the deasser-
tion of TX_EN to the first bit of the “T” code group as output from the TD± pins.
