2.8. Typical Phase Noise Performance
Each of the following three figures shows three phase noise plots superimposed on the same diagram.
Source Jitter: Reference clock phase noise.
Total Jitter (SE): Combined source and clock buffer phase noise measured as a single-ended output to the phase
noise analyzer and integrated from 12 kHz to 20 MHz.
Total Jitter (Diff): Combined source and clock buffer phase noise measured as a differential output to the phase
noise analyzer and integrated from 12 kHz to 20 MHz. The differential measurement as shown in each figure is
made using a balun. See Figure 1 on page 6.
Note: To calculate the total RMS phase jitter when adding a buffer to your clock tree, use the root-sum-square (RSS).
The total jitter is a measure of the source plus the buffer's additive phase jitter. The additive jitter (rms) of the buffer
can then be calculated (via root-sum-square addition).
