This is a key feature for some battery driven applications where the lock time of the PLL is a significant share of the operation time itself. 1. Motivation Phase Locked Loops (PLLs) are a widely ...

These are random jitter, jitter introduced by noise on the voltage control input of the VCO, adjust voltage pulses coming through the loop filter and supply voltage noise. The lock time of a PLL is ...

That big grandfather clock in the library might be an impressive piece of mechanical ingenuity, and an even better example of fine cabinetry, but we’d expect that the accuracy of a pendulum ...

In this session of Logic Noise, we’ll be playing around with the voltage-controlled oscillator from a 4046 phase-locked loop chip, and using it to make “musical” pitches. It’s a lot of ...
