The fractional output divider jitter performance is a function of the fraction output divider input frequency as well as actual fractional divide setting itself. To minimize the fractional output jitter, TI recommends using the least number of fractional bits and the highest input frequency possible into the divider. As observable in Figure 30, the largest jitter contribution occurs when only one fractional divider bit is selected, and especially when the bits in the middle range of the fractional divider are selected.
Tested using a LeCroy 40 Gbps RealTime scope over a time window of 200 ms. The RJ impact on TJ is estimated for a BERT 10(-12) – 1. This measurement result is overly pessimistic, as it does not bandwidth limit the high-frequencies. In a real system, the SERDES TX will BW limit the jitter through its PLL roll-off above the TX PLL bandwidth of typically bit rate divided by 10.
