Editor's Note: Although the primary target market for the 86100CU-400 application presented below is for ASIC/SoC designs, I'm assured by the folks at Agilent that this application is also applicable ...

Learn about the working principles of Phase-Locked Loops (PLL) and why they are widely used for applications where frequency tracking, resonance driving, and oscillator control are required.

Few topics in electrical engineering have demanded as much attention over the years as the phase-locked loop (PLL). The PLL is arguably one of the most important building blocks necessary for modern ...

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 ...

IC designer Don Sauer saw my blog about the difficulties of simulating PLLs and sent me a SPICE file (zip) of a basic PLL that you can play with. Don writes: I have a simple spice netlist for a PLL ...

Some brief theory and typical measurements of phase noise. Standard analysis of PLL phase noise used by most CAD applications. How to produce the lowest phase noise at a PLL output. A standard design ...

That big grandfather clock in the library might be an impressive piece of mechanical ingenuity, and an even better example of fine cabinetry, but we’d expect that the accuracy of a pendulum timepiece ...

I have always had a soft spot for phase-locked loops – at least, I have since I first found out what they were. What I like about them is that they servo into the best answer for a given situation – ...

The PLL5G250F is an ultra-low power phase locked loop (PLL) intellectual property (IP) block. The PLL5G250F features a very small area footprint, w ...

The total power consumption of the proposed PLL is only 8.89 mW from a 1 V supply, which leads to a figure of merit of reference of -247.4 dB. Credit must be given to the creator. Only noncommercial ...
