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,

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
