All Devices: How to improve the jitter value of the PLL clock output?

Follow these recommendations to generate several clock signal outputs with minimum jitter: 
1. Use the PLL and the ODDR clocked by the edge clock. 
2. Use a clock source with less jitter. 
3. Use dedicated clock input routing pins to assign the clock to the device. 
4. Avoid any local routing. 
5. Use I/O Register for the output, this should improve the jitter spec. 
6. Have virtual/pseudo ground around the output pin to isolate the signal.
