Digitizing high-speed signals to a high resolution requires careful selection of a clock that will not compromise the sampling performance of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). In this article, we ...

Jitter remains one of the most important specifications when measuring the goodness of a device. Compliance packages specify random jitter, deterministic jitter, time interval error, and total jitter.

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 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 ...

With the continued quest for ever-higher performance, the unit interval (UI) for a data valid window continues to shrink. At a 1-Gbit/s rate, the UI is 1000 ps, shrinking to 200 ps at 5 Gbits/s and a ...

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 ...

VoIP jitter, usually referred to as network jitter, is the time delay experienced by VoIP phone users between signal transmission and signal reception over a data network. During VoIP voice and video ...
