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 ...
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 – ...
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 ...
One of the most challenging tasks in analog circuit design is to adapt a functional block to ever new CMOS process technology. For digital circuits the number of gates per square mm approx. doubles ...
This application note details the design of a complete 12GHz, ultra-low phase noise fractional-N phase locked loop (PLL) with external VCO. It consists of a high performance fractional-N PLL (MAX2880) ...
When Hackaday runs a contest, we see all manner of clever projects. But inevitably there are some we don’t see, because their builders didn’t manage to get them finished in time. [Park Frazer]’s phase ...
Related to my search for reduced motor noise (and thanks to all who have made suggestions – ‘scope avaunt this weekend), is a search for speed stability in that motor*. And to someone who is in love ...
