  Q. What is the "AT-CUT" ?  
  A. A plate cut from a crystal of quartz in such a way that the plate contains the X-axis and makes an angle of about 35 1/4¢Xwhich the optic axis on the r side.

  Q. What is the "Jitter" and it's significance?  
  A. Jitter is short-term variations of the significant instants of a digital signal from their ideal positions in time. The expected edges in a digital datastream never occur exactly where desired. Defining and measuring the timing accuracy of those edges (jitter) is critical to the performance of synchronous communication systems.
