Why It’s Time to Rethink Jitter Analysis of SerDes Reference Clocks in Optical Modules

As optical fiber technology continues to push the limits of data transport speed and efficiency, the challenge falls on silicon SerDes vendors to keep up. One major obstacle? Managing tighter jitter budgets as data rates increase. This article explores why legacy phase jitter analysis falls short and a better way to specify Refclk jitter in SerDes datasets.

The Top 8 Influencers of Stability in Precision Timing

Frequency-over-temperature stability on its own isn’t enough to predict the performance of a precision oscillator in a real-life system. In practice, different stability specifications in an oscillator datasheet account for the many factors that contribute to stability, and these specifications must be carefully considered when evaluating a system’s overall stability. Here are the top 8 contributors to overall frequency stability output by a precision oscillator along with performance comparison examples.

A Modern Approach to Refclk Jitter Analysis for SerDes Applications

In the fast-paced world of high-speed data communication, the importance of accurate reference clock (refclk) jitter analysis cannot be overstated. In this article, we'll explore the limitations of the traditional methodology and introduce a new, practical approach that promises to enhance system performance and simplify refclk selection for SerDes applications.

How to Identify the Source of Phase Jitter through Phase Noise Plots

To better understand and minimize phase jitter, engineers often rely on phase noise plots. These plots provide a visual representation of the different noise sources influencing phase modulation. This “4-minute clinic” gives you a focused approach for analyzing phase noise plots and detecting the main source of jitter.

Jitter 101. What you need to know.

Each new generation of technology must conquer the effects of jitter. To do so, jitter must be understood, along with an understanding of what causes it and how best to measure it. We define the three most common types of jitter and provide valuable resources and tools for a deeper understanding.
