ABSTRACT:
A plurality of clock signal phases are distributed to a circuit and at least one jitter source is coupled between at least two selected clock phases of the plurality of clock signal phases to introduce a jitter between at least the selected two clock signal phases. In a specific embodiment, the clock distribution system provides N clock phases and, if the phases have an order, there is one jitter source provided between each of the first N−1 phases and the following phase, so that each phase has a jitter relative to each other phase. Several implementations are possible for the jitter sources, which can be noise sources or pseudo-random noise sources, depending on which is easier to design and implement in a specific clock distribution system.
