“Missing an event, being late or early, and getting on the wrong train are all consequences of timing uncertainties in our daily lives. In digital circuits, we deal with very similar situations when we try to time events by a clock that has its own timing uncertainty, called jitter, and in doing so we may miss an event, such as not capturing critical data, or cause bit errors, e.g., capturing the wrong data.”
