Right - the ones that appear in almost every appnote. Often they can cause more 
problems than they fix - especially if there isn't enough dissipation damping 
to knock down the Q. I've seen a clock driver Vcc ringing like crazy on both 
edges when the filter is not properly designed.

Hi Mike;

By local LC filter, do you mean like Ferrite Bead and capacitor filter =
on
the AVdd of PLL that Reference Clock going into?
Thanks.

I usually suspect duty cycle. A quick test is to run from a lab source
where you can vary DC. Also, you may want to characterize DCD jitter.
Another thing you could look for is excessive mounting inductance to Vc=
c
AND return. And if the clock source has local LC filter you could try
temporarily shorting around the inductor in case you're seeing some
resonance in the filter.

Can't it be duty cycle distortion or for a differential clock, skew
between true and complement?

Thanks,
