Analytical Transfer Functions Relating Power and Ground Voltage Fluctuations to Jitter at a Single-Ended Full-Swing Buffer

Abstract

The transfer functions relating supply voltage fluctuations to jitter are analytically derived in closed form expressions for a single-ended buffer. The analytic transfer functions are derived from a linear differential equation obtained from asymptotic linear inverter I-V curves. The transfer functions are validated by comparison with HSPICE simulations. The estimated jitter is compared with the simulated jitter using eye diagrams with single-frequency and multitone supply voltage fluctuations.
