the PLL error of the s32k312 in ppm

[dongyong1]

Dear NXP Engineers

I would like to know what is the PLL error of the s32k312 in ppm

Hi @dongyong1 

Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. 

All information related to the PLL jitter is provided in Table 41 of the S32K3xx Data Sheet, Rev. 8.

Hi VaneB

take the last line of Table41 as an example(1680ps 120Mhz). Is it possible to calculate like this: 1/120MHZ=8.3ns, 1680ps/8.3ns=0.2. (0.2/120M)*1000000=0.002ppm

Hi @dongyong1 

These two specs are about entirely different things. So, I think converting the ps to ppm is not possible. 

Frequency is the number of cycles executed per second. Otherwise, the jitter is about the variance of the clock period. So, if your clock period varies randomly by 10ns RMS (for example), but the period is still 1µs on average, then you can have a very accurate (but jittery) 1MHz clock.

Hi @VaneB

Is that right?
