Hi folks,

I am doing power noise analysis on a system that uses SSTL IO buffers. I
am seeing the ripple on the IO output signal - such that during hi state
IO output signal follows the noise whatever is on the vddio and during low
state, IO output signal follows the noise on the vss. Observing this
phenomenon, I purposely forced IN PHASE single ended noise  to both vdddio
and vss of almost the same frequency as of data rate but uncorrelated with
data rate. Since noise forced to vddio and vss are IN PHASE so
Differential Noise measured between vddio and vss at each instant shows
zero noise. But still I see jitter on the edges because of finite rise and
fall times, the initial low level and final high level for a transition
from low to hi are not always same. Does this mean that along with
differential noise, single ended noise on power and ground also cause
jitter to IO driver.

Naresh
