Effect of switch jitter on wave addition of linear transformer driver

For switch delay of normal distribution, the effects of switch jitter and single waveform’s rise time on the rise time of resultant waveforms are discussed when multiple switches work synchronously. The simulation result shows that the effects of switch jitter on the rise time of resultant waveforms are related to the single waveform’s rise time. The less the rise time of single waveform is, the stronger the effects of switch jitter on the rise time of resultant waveforms. For four switches with the jitter of 5 ns, the rise time of resultant waveforms will decrease from 6.7 ns to 1.7 ns when the rise time of single waveform increases from 10 ns to 80 ns. When the rise time of single waveform is large, there is no use going for small switch jitter.
