VIDEO SERIES

Precision labs series: Phase lock loop fundamentals

This video series will explain the building blocks for phase lock loops (PLL's) such as VCO’s, integer and fractional N frequency dividers, phase detectors and charge pumps. We will provide detailed examples of loop filter design and theory along with the effects of discrete sampling and multiple loops on PLL transient response.

Phase lock loop building blocks - Part 1

This training module is the first of two parts on the PLL (Phased Locked Loop) building blocks. It focuses on the VCO, N Divider, and Outputs.
