I am using STM32CubeMX to configure an STM32F4 to output a clock signal using Timer 3, Channel 4 on PC9. I have read in the datasheet PLL section that jitter shouldn't be more than 15ps RMS but I am seeing orders of magnitude more than this with a huge 30Hz worth of jitter for sub 100kHz outputs, (poor periodicity).
I am using code straight out of STM32CubeMX which has not been modified in anyway and have tried different clock speeds from 16 - 168 MHz on a MINI-M4 module which provides a stable clock.
