Abstract
A method of measuring jitter includes generating a jitter pulse having a width corresponding to an amount of jitter. The jitter pulse is provided to a plurality (M) of latches serially coupled to successively trim the pulse as it propagates through the serially coupled latches. Each latch, li, provides an output bi indicative of receipt of an edge of the jitter pulse.
