Hi Many specifications for communication chips like Bluetooth and others includes some jitter requirement for the clock input The jitter specification could be like Integrated rms jitter 10kHz - 10MHz (Fref& MHz) < 2 ps rms I have tried to search the web for a good explanation of this term and how to measure it and looked at different equipment vendors websites, but so far without luck. Can anybody point me to some document or like which describes the term 'Integrated RMS Jitter' and how to measure it? '2 ps' seems to be a very tight requirement Additionally, I would think that 'RMS' would require that the distribution was close to Gaussian, i.e random jitter and not deterministic jitter.
