How to measure peak to peak jitter in Cadence?

peak to peak jitter

how to measure peak to peak jitter of any pll based clock generator?
i am using cadence spectre simulator.

Re: peak to peak jitter

Use this veriloga file, just connect your clock to this clock


// VerilogA for bmslib, Sig2FreqJitter, veriloga
// last revised: 7/21/03 (ronv)
//
// DESCRIPTION:
// Measures the frequency and Jitter of the input signal by detecting
// the times at which the last two zero crossings occured. This method
// will only work accurately on single tone signals.
//
// LIMITATIONS:
// This only measures instantaneous Freq and Delta Period
// no measurement until after 2nd clock edge
//
// INCLUDE FILES:

`include "constants.h"
`include "discipline.h"

// Frequency in Hertz, nature and signal-flow discipline:
nature Freq_Hz
units = "Hz";
access = FF;
abstol = 1m;
blowup = 1G;
endnature
discipline freq_hz
potential Freq_Hz;
enddiscipline

// Time in Seconds, nature and signal-flow discipline:
nature Time_Sec
abstol = 1f;
access = TT;
units = "s";
blowup = 1G;
endnature

discipline time_sec
potential Time_Sec;
enddiscipline
