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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
