Depends on the bit_error_rate (BER). The FC Jitter Working group uses :
pk_to_pk= +/- 7 sigma (rms x 14) for 1e-12 BER.

Ok, RMS is essentially the same as sigma. Three sigma includes 99.8% of all
samples. So you would probably be safe in saying that the peak jitter is 3
times the RMS.

For a non-random process peak 1/sqrt2 * VRMS however jitter is a random
process so in theoretical terms the peak jitter value has no meaning. You
have to define it in terms of sigma (assuming it's a normal dist). There
must be some math gurus here that could relate RMS to sigma. Then you can
say something like "the 3 sigma jitter is x ns", 3 sigma including
something
like 98% (I forgot the exact figure) of all jitter samples.

Dear SI guru,

Appreciate if somebody can shed some light:
If given a rms jitter value, is there any way this can be converted into
peak-peak jitter value?

Thank you.
