In the world of oscillators specifications get passed around as a form of convenient shorthand and we get so accustomed to the terms used to describe the specifications that we often forget how they got that way.Read more »
We are rounding up our Clock Jitter series by taking a look at what external factors can induce jitter in oscillators, and how they can be effectively compensated for.Read more »
Continuous advances in high-speed communication and measurement systems require higher levels of performance from system clocks and references.Read more »
As previously demonstrated, timing noise/jitter is a very complicated phenomenon, and in order to understand how jitter can impact a system it needs to be measured and quantified. Read more »
Jitter as defined by NIST as the “short term phase variation of the significant instants of a digital signal from their ideal positions in time”. Read more »
There is a lot of information available on the internet for engineers who want to learn more about frequency control, synchronization and clocks in general.
