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 ...

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 ...

For an IC building block that came into being at about the same time as the microprocessor in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the “lowly” phase-locked loop has not done too badly. The hidden beauty of ...

As power density soars, air and single-phase loops hit their limits. A new webinar from Advanced Cooling technologies (ACT) shows how loop thermosyphons and pumped two-phase cooling unlock higher ...

Radiation-hardened phase-locked loop (PLL) circuits represent a critical advancement in safeguarding electronic systems against the deleterious effects of ionising radiation. These circuits are ...

The HEF4046B is a phase-locked loop circuit that contains a linear voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and two discrete phase comparators that has a common signal input amplifier and a common ...
