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.

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 ...

Testing of the physical layer in high-speed digital devices is becoming more challenging daily. The next generation of such devices will require forward-clocking architectures for memory-to-CPU ...
