  • Abstract
    The timing jitter in relaxation oscillators is analyzed. This jitter is described by a single normalized equation whose solution allows prediction of noise in practical oscillators. The theory is confirmed by measurements on practical oscillators and is used to develop a prototype low-noise oscillator with a measured jitter of 1.5 ppm RMS.
