Jitter Information

is done continuously with no abrupt changes in the clock output frequency. Noise, voltage, temperature and

other factors cause slight variations in the control loop resulting in a clock jitter. This jitter affects the real

minimum and maximum clock periods as illustrated in Figure 4. It is important to note that the pre-scaler used

by timers and serial modules will eliminate the effect of PLL jitter to a large extent.

number of clock periods (N). Thus, jitter is defined as:

For N

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