[time-nuts] Understanding Oliver Collins Paper "Design of Low Jitter Hard Limiters"

[Bob Camp]

Hi

In general, saturated logic (TTL / CMOS) will do better than non-saturated (ECL / LVDS). Faster with saturated generally = better, provided it's silicon. Once you go to high mobility semiconductors the 1/f noise picks up. Yes, you need a quiet supply. How quiet is going to depend on your edge rates, input frequencies, phase noise offsets, the coupling circuit, and the logic used. Put another way - you need to test your circuit. There are bits and pieces of that very limited summary scattered across several hundred papers and data sheets.
