    This paper presents a model to estimate jitter insertion and accumulation in clock repeaters. We propose expressions to estimate, with low computational effort, both static and dynamic clock jitter insertion in repeaters with different sizes, interconnects and slew-rates. It requires only the pre-characterization of a reference repeater, which can be accomplished with a small number of simulations or measurements. Furthermore, we propose expressions for dynamic jitter accumulation that considers the dual nature of power and ground noise impact on delay. The complete model can be used to replace time-consuming transient noise simulations when evaluating jitter in clock distribution systems, and provide valuable insights regarding the impact of design parameters on jitter. Presented results show that our models can estimate jitter insertion and accumulation with an error within 10% of simulation results, for typical designs, and accurately reflect the impact of changing design parameters.
