The Designer's Guide to Jitter in Ring Oscillators

This guide emphasizes jitter for time domain applications so that there is not a need to translate from frequency domain. This provides a more direct path to the results for designing in an application area where performance is specified in the time domain. The book includes classification of oscillator types and an exhaustive guide to existing research literature which allows designers to find appropriate publications for more detailed design guidance. It also includes classification of measurement techniques to help designers understand how the eventual performance of circuit design is verified. The book is a companion to The Designer's Guide to High Purity Oscillators by Hegazi, Rael, and Abidi.
