Jitter. It's a term you hear a lot, and it packs a lot of meaning—or more precisely several meanings—into six little letters. But when engineers, marketers, and customers start talking about jitter in ...

As clock speeds in communications systems push into the GHz range, phase noise and jitter ” always key issues in analog designs ” are becoming increasingly critical to the performance of digital chips ...

Some brief theory and typical measurements of phase noise. Standard analysis of PLL phase noise used by most CAD applications. How to produce the lowest phase noise at a PLL output. A standard design ...

Volumes have been written about jitter, an indication of the complexity associated with timing uncertainty. Actually, timing errors are easy to measure. It is in the assignment of blame that the ...
