Minimum time spent in
electrical idle
TTX-IDLE-MIN
Minimum time a Transmitter must be in
Electrical Idle Utilized by the Receiver to
start looking for an Electrical Idle Exit

Maximum time to transition
to a valid electrical idle after
sending an electrical idle
ordered set
TTX-IDLE-SET-TO-ID
LE
After sending an Electrical Idle ordered
set, the Transmitter must meet all
Electrical Idle Specifications within this
time. This is considered a debounce time
for the Transmitter to meet Electrical Idle
after transitioning from L0.
