Double-Frequency Jitter in Chain Master-Slave Clock Distribution Networks: Comparing Topologies

  • Published : 2006.03.01

Abstract

Master-slave (M-S) strategies implemented with chain circuits are the main option in order to distribute clock signals along synchronous networks in several telecommunication and control applications. Here, we study the two types of masterslave chains: Without clock feedback, i.e., one-way master-slave (OWMS) and with clock feedback, i.e., two-way master-slave (TWMS) considering the slave nodes as second-order phase-locked loops (PLL) for several types of loop low-pass filters.
