Abstract: Presents a tutorial on phase-locked loops from a control systems perspective. It starts with an introduction of the loop as a feedback control problem, with both the similarities and ...

Abstract: The tutorial overviews the basics of digital fractional-N phase-locked-loop architectures and their design principles from the signal-processing level down to circuit design. We will examine ...

"IEEE.tv is an excellent step by IEEE. This will pave a new way in knowledge-sharing and spreading ideas across the globe." ...

The purpose of a phase locked loop (PLL) is to generate a frequency and phase-locked output oscillation signal. To achieve this goal, prior art essentially functioned ...

[Kenneth Finnegan] put up a lengthy primer on PLLs (Phase-Locked Loops). We really enjoyed his presentation (even the part where he panders to Rigol for a free scope… sign us up for one of those too).

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 ...

If you want a stable oscillator, you usually think of using a crystal. The piezoelectric qualities of quartz means that it can be cut in a particular way that it will oscillate at a very precise ...
