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.

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 ...

High-speed communications require system designers to optimize clocking performance while adhering to both performance and cost-budget requirements. When selecting an optimal clock, the developer must ...

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 ...

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 ...
