Deterministic jitter

Deterministic jitter

Deterministic jitter (or DJ) is a type of jitter with a known non-Gaussian probability distribution. The other major class of jitter is non-deterministic, or random jitter.

Characteristics

Deterministic jitter is clock timing jitter or data signal jitter that is predictable and reproducible. The peak-to-peak value of this jitter is bounded, and the bounds can easily be observed and predicted.

Deterministic Jitter includes different categories such as periodic jitter, data dependent jitter, and duty-cycle dependent jitter.
