Zusammenfassung:A device may include an integrated circuit and a jitter generator located on the integrated circuit. The jitter generator may include a random number generator to generate a random number in response to a clock input signal. The jitter generator may also include delay-causing circuitry to receive the clock input signal, where the delay-causing circuitry may create a delayed clock input signal. The jitter generator may also include a phase mixer to receive the random number, the delayed clock input signal, and the clock input signal, where the phase mixer additionally outputs a clock output signal having the clock input signal and having jitter.
