Description

Part 1 of this three-part article series focused on how to accurately estimate jitter from a clock source and combine it with the aperture jitter of an ADC. In Part 2, that combined jitter was used to calculate the ADC’s signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which was then compared against actual measurements. This article, Part 3, shows how to further increase the SNR of the ADC by improving the ADC’s aperture jitter, with a focus on optimizing the slew rate of the clock signal.
