Jitter Definition and Clock Jitter Specification
Generally, jitter is defined as “the short-term variation of a signal with respect to its ideal position in time”. The following table
provides an overview of the terminology.

Description
Units
tCK.AVG
Average clock period tCK.AVG is calculated as the average clock period within any consecutive ps
200-cycle window:

j = 1
N = 200
tJIT.PER
Clock-period jitter
t
t
JIT.PER is defined as the largest deviation of any single tCK from tCK.AVG
JIT.PER = Min/Max of {tCKi – tCK.AVG} where i = 1 to 200

t
JIT.PER defines the single-period jitter when the DLL is already locked.
JIT.PER is not guaranteed through final production testing.
t
JIT(PER, LCK)
Clock-period jitter
during DLL-locking
period
t
JIT(PER,LCK) uses the same definition as tJIT.PER, during the DLL-locking ps
period only.
t
JIT(PER,LCK) is not guaranteed through final production testing.
tJIT.CC
Cycle-to-cycle clock
period jitter
t
JIT.CC is defined as the absolute difference in clock period between two
ps
consecutive clock cycles:
t
JIT.CC = Max of ABS{tCKi+1 – tCKi}
t
t
JIT.CC defines the cycle- to- cycle jitter when the DLL is already locked.
JIT.CC is not guaranteed through final production testing.
t
JIT(CC, LCK)
Cycle-to-cycle clock
period jitter during
DLL-locking period
t
JIT(CC,LCK) uses the same definition as tJIT.CC during the DLL-locking
ps
period only.
t
JIT(CC,LCK) is not guaranteed through final production testing.
tERR.2PER
Cumulative error
across 2 cycles
t
ERR.2PER is defined as the cumulative error across 2 consecutive cycles ps
from tCK.AVG
:
i + n – 1
⎛
⎜

tERR(2per) =
tCKj – n × tCK(avg)

∑

j = i
n = 2 for tERR(2per)
where i = 1 to 200
