Applications
Why ultra-low jitter matters in platforms
- Datacenter switching & optics: Cleaner reference clocks reduce downstream PLL stress and help margin high-speed SERDES links in clock distribution trees.
- Ethernet/transport references: 156.25MHz domains are common in 40G/100G timing trees; integrated jitter is a key contributor to end-to-end link performance.
- PCIe & compute platforms: Differential clocks (often 100MHz) demand controlled impedance and appropriate logic selection (HCSL/LVDS/LVPECL) with correct termination.
