For the system designer, an understanding of clock jitter and its role in the system timing budget is vital. With increasing system data rates, the system performance limit is often determined by the system timing margin, making timing jitter critical. This presentation will discuss clock timing jitter, measured in both Time Domain (Cycle-to-Cycle Jitter, Period Jitter and Time Interval Error (TIE) Jitter) and Frequency Domain (Phase Noise and Phase Jitter). Some sources of jitter are thermal noise, power supply noise, ground bounce, PLL circuitry, cross talk, and reflections.

At the end of this presentation, you will be able to:
1. Explain jitter and its significance in different applications
2. Explain the different types of clock jitter
         • Cycle to Cycle Jitter
         • Period Jitter
         • Time Interval Error (TIE) Jitter
         • Phase Noise and Phase Jitter

The presentation will conclude with an introduction of new clock products with best-in-class jitter performance now available from ON Semiconductor.

Are you working on a design that requires driving LEDs? This tutorial will discuss the basic characteristics of an LED circuit and different solutions available for driving LEDs in various applications. You will then be instructed in more detail about the ideal placement, performance and characteristics of Constant Current Regulators (CCR) and will be shown a demonstration of an application comparing a common resistor biased solution and a Constant Current Regulator (CCR) biased solution driving multiple strings of LEDs.

In less than 20 minutes, you will understand how to optimize your LED design using a Constant Current Regulator solution to drive your LEDs more efficiently and cost effectively.

Clock generation requirements for applications such as routers, servers, networking switches, and line cards continue to demand increased frequency, better signal purity and higher component reliability. Systems are getting more complex with additional new features requiring many different frequencies. Traditionally clock generation for markets such as High Definition Video (HDV) processing, high-end computing, networking / telecom, automatic test equipment and industrial applications have been primarily serviced by 3rd overtone or SAW based crystal oscillators. These technologies have physical limitations making them time consuming, difficult and costly to manufacture for frequencies above 50 MHz.

This presentation will compare and contrast traditional 3rd overtone or SAW based crystal oscillator solutions with PLL base crystal oscillator modules as an alternative solution for clock generation implementations suitable for frequencies above 50 MHz.
