Hi all,
I am measuring a Random jitter of parallel resonant crystal clock on a
tablet board. I plotted histogram and found it to be in bell shape
i.e. Gaussian distribution.

But when i add a series resistor to reduce the drive current to crystal, i
find that the histogram shape changes to bi-modal i.e. the one which we get
when we have both Random jitter and Deterministic jitter.

I am unable to understand the crystal clock jitter behavior after adding
drive control resistor. I dont see any changes in waveform shape when i
measure it in oscilloscope, neither the crystal is having any trouble in
starting up.

Regards
