Hi I think the gotcha is that the PLL (where one is involved) may be in a dynamic state a good percentage of the time. Eventually it gets close to setting and then it’s time to hop yet again. That would make the “back out” process pretty involved. Bob > On May 15, 2019, at 1:15 PM, jimlux wro

[time-nuts] timing properties of "spectrum spreading" clocks

2019-05-15 Thread jimlux
Has anyone measured the details of the spread spectrum clocks used to help meet emission limits (like FCC Part 15)? It seems, superficially, that they do this with some sort of deterministic process (like a linear feedback shift register), and so, one might be able to "back out" the (Pseudo)ra
