The transmitter (TX) jitter is critical to the performance of both differential and single-ended signal interfaces. The multi-tone sinusoidal jitter due to the power supply noise accounts for a major portion of the TX jitter. An analytical bit-error-rate method is proposed for accurately evaluating the impact from the multi-tone sinusoidal jitter to the channel performance, which is important for channel design and optimization. The proposed method can accurately capture the channel amplification effect and be seamlessly incorporated into the existing formulation that handles random jitter, deterministic jitter, and duty cycle distortion, etc.
