Description
When I do timing analysis, I noticed that the calculation of Discrete Jitter (DJ) for the PLL2DCM and DCM2PLL situations has changed. When did this happen?
Solution
From DCM to PLL
Currently Dj is calculated by {Dj(pll) + Dj(dcm)}. However, PLL is very good at filtering out the DCM jitter, so we will change the Dj equation to only include the Dj from the PLL and to ignore the Dj from the DCM. The "Ref Jitter" input will be inputted to the PLL jitter equation.
From PLL to DCM
DCM will pass any PLL jitter and then add in its own jitter. So we will calculate Dj as Dj(pll)+Dj(dcm). The"Ref Jitter" input will used as an input to the PLL jitter equation.
