Effect of Fast Slew Rate of Victim Clock on SSN

Crosstalk or SSN on power and ground can induce a glitch or jitter on the victim clock input signal. Increasing the ramp time (V/ns) of the victim clock input signal will mitigate this affect. Fast rise and fall edges reduce the time the clock signal is above VIH and below VIL and can push out the glitch from VIH or VIL zone such that it no longer affects the clock and reset signals.
