Historically, the preferred instrument for measuring the reference clock jitter of PCI Express® (PCIe®) systems has been the digital storage oscilloscope (DSO). Unfortunately, as the data rates in successive PCIe generations increase and as reference clock maximum jitter specifications become lower, the DSO’s intrinsic jitter is becoming a problem. This white paper will show that changes to the existing PCIe Gen3/4 filters are not required when using improved measurement techniques and low noise parts like the IDT9FGV1006.
