Jitter remains one of the most important specifications when measuring the goodness of a device. Compliance packages specify random jitter, deterministic jitter, time interval error, and total jitter.
A previous article on jitter (Synch and clock recovery – an analog guru looks at jitter) defined jitter and its various sub-components. The purpose of this note is to answer the question, “So now that ...
This white paper is aimed at system architects and physical implementation leaders working on the design of SoCs. It can be confusing to understand the impact of different jitter sources and how to ...
No real clock sources (PLL’s, DLL’s, Crystal Oscillators, even function generators) exist that have a single, fixed value for their output period. The output period of all real clock sources changes ...
High-speed communications require system designers to optimize clocking performance while adhering to both performance and cost-budget requirements. When selecting an optimal clock, the developer must ...
Meeting the demanding performance requirements of today’s system-on-a-chip (SoC) applications, whether in high-data-rate telecom systems or high-quality audio and video equipment, requires extensive ...
