This application note discusses phase frequency detector characteristics that affect phase-locked loop (PLL) dead band and jitter performance. In PLLs that employ charge pump loop filter designs the ...

But taking a voltage-controlled oscillator at 100 MHz (nominal) and dividing its output by 100 will give you a signal you can lock to a 1 MHz crystal oscillator which is, of course, trivial to build.

The phase locked loop, or PLL, is a real workhorse of circuit design. It is a classic feedback loop where the phase of an oscillator is locked to the phase of a ...

San Mateo, Calif. – Phase-locked and delay-locked loops are becoming increasingly important weapons in the system-on-chip design arsenal, but PLLs and DLLs are notorious for their difficulty. Now, ...

The NB4N507A is a fully integrated phase lock loop (PLL) designed to replace expensive crystal oscillators for clock generation in a variety of consumer and networking applications. The IC generates a ...

This is Part 1 of a three-part series. As modern wireless communications systems (mainly superheterodyne radio transceivers) are now required to deliver higher performance than ever before, they’re ...
