A stochastic jitter model for analyzing digital timing-recovery circuits

Published:26 July 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper describes a stochastic jitter model for analyzing the performance and bit error rate (BER) of digital timing recovery circuits. The model uses parallel interconnected Markov chains to simulate the behavior of the system in response to both random and deterministic jitter. Unlike conventional Markov-chain models that require the system to be stationary, the parallel-chain model approximates deterministic changes in conditions with transitions between sub-chains. To verify the accuracy of the model, an analysis was performed on a digital delay-locked loop, and the results compared to measured data. The resulting transition probabilities and BER predicted by the proposed model are more than three orders of magnitude more accurate than those predicted by a conventional Markov-chain model.
