    Abstract: Separation and analysis of measured Total Jitter (TJ) begins with a suitably long arbitrary digital test pattern, from which an Acquisition Record is made. A Time Interval Error (TIE) or Voltage Level Error (VLE) Record is made of the Acquisition Record. A Template defines a collection of associated bit value or transitions that are nearby or otherwise related to a bit location of interest, and has associated therewith a collection of Descriptors and their respective Metrics. Each Descriptor identifies one of the various different patterns of bit value or transitions that fit the Template. The TIE/VLE Record is examined, and a parameter is measured for each instance of each Descriptor for the Template. The collection of measured parameters for each particular Descriptor are combined (e.g., averaging) to produce the Metric for that Descriptor. A Look-Up Table (LUT) addressed by the different possible Descriptors is loaded with the associated discovered Metric, which is a plausible value for Data Dependent Jitter (DDJ) at that bit. DDJ separates from TJ because DDJ is correlated with the Descriptors, while Periodic Jitter (PJ) and Random Jitter (RJ) can be expected to average to near zero over a sufficient number of instances of a given Descriptor. Identified instances of DDJ are individually removed from corresponding locations of TJ found for the entire waveform (the original TIE/VLE Record) to leave an Adjusted TIE/VLE Record that is PJ convolved with RJ.

    Abstract: A method a low cost and production-integrable technique for providing a signal diagram. The data signal is edge-detected and asynchronously sampled (or alternatively a clock signal is latched). The data signal or a second signal is compared to a settable threshold voltage and sampled. The edge and comparison data are folded according to a swept timebase to find a minimum jitter period. The crossing of the signal diagram edges is determined from a peak of a histogram of the folded edge data. A histogram of ratios of the sample values versus displacement from the position of the crossing location is generated for each threshold voltage. The technique is repeated over a range of settable threshold voltages. Then, the ratio counts are differentiated across the histograms with respect to threshold voltage, from which a signal diagram is populated.

    Abstract: Timing jitter sequences Δφj[n] and Δφk[n] of respective clock signals under measurement xj(t) and xk(t) are estimated, and a timing difference sequence between those timing jitter sequences is calculated. In addition, initial phase angles φ0j and φ0k of linear instantaneous phases of the xj(t) and xk(t) are estimated, respectively. A sum of a difference between those initial angles and the timing difference sequence is calculated to obtain a clock skew sequence between the xj(t) and xk(t).
