Hello guys,

As we all know, a bang-bang phase detector is a non-linear block and is like a comparator or 1-bit ADC. I know that we can model a bang-bang pd using sign function but it's non-linear. I want to linearize it so that I can design the CDR for the given Jitter Transfer Function, Jitter Tolerance specs on paper with some approximations. I am looking for good materials that address this issue. Your suggestions would be of great help to me.

Thanks in advance
