PLL loop filter design - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Please help on how to design PLL loop filter for specific loop band width? ( what is loop bandwidth anyway?). I have charge pump current and VCO sensitivity as input.

Thanks &Regards,
V.Veerasamy

Hi Veerasamy,
if you are new with synthesizers, I strongly suggest you to read the book written by Dean Banerjee "PLL Performance, Simulation and Design": it's a really good reference. You can find it at the link
http://www.national.com/analog/timing/pll_designbook

If you are an Analog Devices' customer you can ask them a free copy of ADISimPLL that allows you to design and simulate synthesizers based on Analog Devices PLL.

Regards,
Alberto

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
