Figure A-3. Jitter Definitions
The relative deviation of t_nom is at its maximum for one clock period, and decreases towards zero for larger
number of clock periods (N).
Defining the jitter as:
J(N)
=
⎛

⎝
1 – -tN-^m-----_â‹^a---t^x-_n--⁽--_o-N--_m--⁾- ,

For N < 100, the following equation is a good fit for the maximum jitter:

Figure A-4. Maximum Bus Clock Jitter Approximation
This is very important to notice with respect to timers, serial modules where a pre-scaler will eliminate the
effect of the jitter to a large extent.
