JITTER TRANSFER - RECEIVER/TRANSMITTER:
Jitter Transfer function is defined as the ratio of jitter on the output relative to the jitter applied on the input
versus frequency.
There are two distinct characteristics in jitter transfer: jitter gain (jitter peaking) defined as the highest ratio
above 0dB; and jitter transfer bandwidth.The overall jitter transfer bandwidth is controlled by a low bandwidth
loop, typically using a voltage-controller crystal oscillator (VCXO).
The jitter transfer function is a ratio between the jitter output and jitter input for a component, or system often
expressed in dB. A negative dB jitter transfer indicates the element removed jitter. A positive dB jitter transfer
indicates the element added jitter.A zero dB jitter transfer indicates the element had no effect on jitter.
Table 12 shows the jitter transfer characteristics and/or jitter attenuation specifications for various data rates:
The above specifications can be met only with a jitter attenuator that supports E3/DS3/STS-1 rates.
7.3
Jitter Attenuator:
An advanced crystal-less jitter attenuator per channel is included in the XRT75R03D. The jitter attenuator
requires no external crystal nor high-frequency reference clock.
In Host mode, by clearing or setting the JATx/Rx_n bits in the channel control registers selects the jitter
attenuator either in the Receive or Transmit path on per channel basis. In Hardware mode, JATx/Rx pin selects
globally all three channels either in Receive or Transmit path.
The FIFO size can be either 16-bit or 32-bit. In HOST mode, the bits JA0_n and JA1_n can be set to
appropriate combination to select the different FIFO sizes or to disable the Jitter Attenuator on a per channel
basis. In Hardware mode, appropriate setting of the pins JA0 and JA1 selects the different FIFO sizes or
disables the Jitter Attenuator for all three channels. Data is clocked into the FIFO with the associated clock
signal (TxClk or RxClk) and clocked out of the FIFO with the dejittered clock. When the FIFO is within two bits
of overflowing or underflowing, the FIFO limit status bit, FL_n is set to “1” in the Alarm status register. Reading
this bit clears the FIFO and resets the bit into default state.
NOTE: It is recommended to select the 16-bit FIFO for delay-sensitive applications as well as for removing smaller amounts
of jitter. Table 13 specifies the jitter transfer mask requirements for various data rates:
