Jai,

You may want to verify if these vendors use JESD65 definitions for phase 
and period jitter.
http://www.jedec.org/download/search/jesd65b.pdf

Depending on your application, one or both types of jitter may be important.
Generally you have to account for phase jitter in serdes and common 
clock interfaces where each device has its own PLL.
For source synchronous interfaces you have to account for period jitter.
For some source synchronous interfaces like SPI4.2 that use dynamic 
alignment, you may have to account for both types of jitter.

Thanks,
Vinu
