NOTE: All parameters characterized at

NOTE: Electrical parameters are guaranteed over the specified ambient operating temperature range, which is established when the device is
mounted in a test socket with maintained transverse airflow greater than 500 lfpm. The device will meet specifications after thermal equilibrium
has been reached under these conditions.
NOTE 1: Measured from the differential input crossing point to the differential output crossing point.
NOTE 2: Defined as skew between outputs at the same supply voltage and with equal load conditions. Measured at the output differential
cross points.
NOTE 3: Defined as skew between different devices operating at the same supply voltage, same frequency, same temperature and with equal
load conditions. Using the same type of inputs on each device, the output is measured at the differential cross point.
NOTE 4: This parameter is defined in accordance with JEDEC Standard 65.

Additive Phase Jitter
The spectral purity in a band at a specific offset from the fundamental
compared to the power of the fundamental is called the
dBc Phase
Noise.
This value is normally expressed using a Phase noise plot
and is most often the specified plot in many applications. Phase noise
is defined as the ratio of the noise power present in a 1Hz band at a
specified offset from the fundamental frequency to the power value of
the fundamental. This ratio is expressed in decibels (dBm) or a ratio
of the power in the 1Hz band to the power in the fundamental. When
the required offset is specified, the phase noise is called a
dBc
value,
which simply means dBm at a specified offset from the fundamental.
By investigating jitter in the frequency domain, we get a better
understanding of its effects on the desired application over the entire
time record of the signal. It is mathematically possible to calculate an
expected bit error rate given a phase noise plot.

12kHz to 20MHz = 0.037ps (typical)
SSB Phase Noise dBc/Hz
Offset from Carrier Frequency (Hz)
As with most timing specifications, phase noise measurements has
issues relating to the limitations of the equipment. Often the noise
floor of the equipment is higher than the noise floor of the device. This
is illustrated above. The device meets the noise floor of what is
shown, but can actually be lower. The phase noise is dependent on
the input source and measurement equipment.
The source generator used is, "Rohde & Schwarz SMA100 through
the Hewlett Packard 8133A Generator".
