Measuring Jitter and Phase Error in Microprocessor Phase-Locked Loops

View publication

Abstract

Excessive "jitter," caused primarily by power supply noise, can detract from the advantages of phase-locked loops. Moreover, in a multichip system, the accumulated phase error must be measured - not just the jitter.
