Summary: 
An analytic equation was derived for the time jitter of digital NRZ signals due to inter-symbol interference in the PCB transmission lines loaded by DRAM chips which are located in uniform spacing. The inter-symbol interference is caused by a low-pass filtering effect of the loaded transmission line. Good agreements were observed between the equation and measurements with an average error of 17.5%.
