This is misleading.  While it is true that they have this
low jitter at multi-Gb/s rates, the jitter is much greater
than this at lower clock rates.  At 10 MHz, ECL devices
can't do better than several ps random jitter.  This is
because of the broadband phase noise floor which is around
-150 dBc/Hz.
