Reference Clock
Overview
This section focuses on the selection of the reference clock source or oscillator. An oscillator is
characterized by:
• Frequency range
• Output voltage swing
• Jitter (deterministic, random, peak-to-peak)
• Rise and fall times
• Supply voltage and current
• Noise specification
• Duty cycle and duty-cycle tolerance
• Frequency stability
These characteristics are selection criteria when choosing an oscillator for a GTP transceiver design.
Figure 5-4 illustrates the convention for a single-ended clock input voltage swing, peak-to-peak.
This figure is provided to show the contrast to the differential clock input voltage swing calculation
shown in Figure 5-5.
