A Modern Approach to Refclk Jitter Analysis for SerDes Applications

Examines clock-edge variation and phase noise, with attention to jitter budgets, measurement bandwidths and error sources.

Jitter and PLLs

Compare jitter and phase noise under matching bandwidths and operating conditions. PLL bandwidth affects reference and local-oscillator noise transfer and must be evaluated against the system budget.
