VIDEO SERIES

Precision labs series: Noise in clock and timing systems

This series of videos will cover topics around noise in clock and timing systems in both time and frequency domains. Subjects include definitions, characteristics and sources of jitter, phase noise figures of merit and the relationship to jitter. We will analyze system-level impairments such as excessive jitter/phase noise and PLL spurious noise for cause and effect by simulation and direct measurement examples.

Precision labs series: Noise in clock and timing systems

Jitter and phase noise definition

In this module, we will explore definitions of the different types of jitter as well as some of the system level impairments caused by excessive jitter.

Adhering to a clock jitter budget is often one of the most critical parts of system design. In this module, we will explore the definitions and types of Jitter as well as some of the system level impairments caused by excessive jitter.  We also discuss using an eye diagram to visualize the jitter in a data stream or clock source.
