jitter question, synchonizing two clocks

Hello friends,

Can someone give me a little advice? I have a (quite pure) sine clock at about 12MHz and I need to multiply it 10 times to obtain 120MHz square. The question is originally jitter is multiplicative? Do I need to use dedicated multipliers like those:

In fact, I want to phase synchronize 12MHz with another reference, and I plan to count (FLL loop) the 12MHz pulses. For better phase accuracy I thought to count 10x faster, by multiplying input.

Any thoughts appreciated,

Don't know what your budget is, but if it were me I would take a 120 MHz VCXO, and phase lock it to your 12 MHz system clock (assuming you need to do that at all). THen you would have very low time jitter clock, and not have to worry about any cycle slipping.
