Anyone involved in fiber optic communications continuously hears people talk about random jitter. Random jitter is one of those terms like broadband that has meaning to people who are skilled in the ...

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 ...

In digital, analog, and RF communications systems, jitter plays a large role in the degradation of signal integrity. This can include a reduced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or effective number of bits ...

A new approach to jitter testing has been devised for leading-edge systems. It takes a spectral view of the jitter that not only allows immediate identification of the sources for debugging but also ...

Jitter can seriously degrade system operation but, as Lee Morgan explains, characterising and troubleshooting jitter on embedded systems has become a lot easier. Clocks are the heartbeats of embedded ...

Signal sources can help predict serialiser and deserialiser jitter behaviour. Signal jitter is one of the more difficult compliance issues confronting serial device designers. With their high data ...

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 ...

This paper is concerned with the optimum interpolation of sampled data when various types of jitter are present. The two basic types of jitter are the departures from intended sampling times in taking ...

A fan-out buffer is used in timing applications that require multiple copies of a clock signal to be distributed. When choosing the right fan-out buffer for a timing application, it’s usually helpful ...
