Not sure how calculated this - the PN chart for PL133-37 shows output jitter 
barely lifting off the input jitter trace.  LT do not say what their input 
jitter is.

Additive jitter for 100MHz 12kHz-20MHz is 80fs for PLL133-37 and 90fs for 
LTC6957 at more than 10 times lower price.

I would trust LT more but all this is still armchair engineering.  The only way 
to know is stick it on the board and check.

Note that PLL133-37 is AC coupled internally so not suitable for short sharp 
spikes or low frequencies. 

Cheers
Leo
