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 ...

Jitter is one of the most widely used terms amongst engineers who design digital data links. Whether you design a new board or validate an old board, you'll run have to confront jitter and its ...

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 ...

Jitter is a lesser-known networking issue that I can guarantee that most of you have experienced, probably recently. It's most apparent in any type of real-time communications, like video calls, VoIP ...

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 ...

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 ...

Jitter measurements are among the most important ways of evaluating the performance of serial digital data links as well as clocks. The oscilloscope is by far the instrument most commonly used for ...
