I haven't looked recently, but I doubt if much has changed. Xilinx uses DLLs
rather than PLLs.
They have a long chain of buffers and a giant multiplexor to select the right
tap.
Does anybody have data on what the "jitter" actually looks like? I'd expect
several blurry peaks, with the spacing between peaks being the step size of
the delay/mux chain and the blur being wider if there is more random logic.
