  PLL & Clocking Glossary
The lock output indicates that the PLL output clock is stable and in phase with the reference clock. The two requirements for a PLL to obtain lock are that the reference clock and feedback clock are frequency matched and phase aligned.
Both the PLL internal and external clock outputs are phase shifted with respect to the PLL clock input.
Therefore, the PLL phase aligns the input reference clock with the clock signal at the ports of the registers in the logic array or the input/output element (IOE).

  PLL modeling and verification in a cycle-simulation environment
Inclusion of the PLL in the S/390 two-cycle simulation environment meant that a VHDL description had to be written to behave properly in a cycle-simulation environment, yet emulate the PLL with sufficient accuracy.
The method chosen for emulating the PLL was to describe a function generator capable of producing the required output waveforms as a derivative of the multiply bits and another key variable, the cycles per reference clock period (CPR period).
Prior to the advent of the PLL behavior, a scannable latch was implemented in the clock logic to permit the output to be altered by 180 degrees.

  Phase-locked loop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The variable oscillator component of the PLL may be implemented using a clock source (such as a crystal oscillator), two counters (one up/down), and a digital comparator.
The function of the PLL is to compare the distributed clock to the incoming reference clock, and vary the phase and frequency of its output until the reference and feedback clocks are phase and frequency matched.
Another desirable property of all PLLs is that the phase and frequency of the generated clock be unaffected by rapid changes in the voltages of the power and ground supply lines, as well as the voltage of the substrate on which the PLL circuits are fabricated.

 Pll circuit patent invention
The PLL circuit of the present invention includes a voltage-controlled oscillator, a loop filter, and a charge pump which controls a voltage of the loop filter while the voltage-controlled oscillator is not oscillating.

 Performing Transient Analysis on PLL Frequency Synthesizers
A PLL can be considered a subsystem within a larger communications system, so it is appropriate to analyze this type of network with the help of a system-level simulator.
Since a PLL can be considered a subsystem within a larger communications system, it is appropriate to analyze this type of network with the help of a system-level simulator, such as the Symphony communication system designer within the Serenade software suite.
A PLL is primarily a nonlinear device because its phase detector is nonlinear.

 What is phase-locked loop? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: PLL, phase-lock loop
PLLs are frequently used in wireless communication, particularly where signals are carried using frequency modulation (FM) or phase modulation (PM).
A PLL consists of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) that is tuned using a special semiconductor diode called a varactor.
Since a PLL requires a certain amount of time to lock on the frequency of an incoming signal, the intelligence on the signal (voice, video, or data) can be obtained directly from the waveform of the measured error voltage, which will reflect exactly the modulated information on the signal.

 Pll architecture patent invention
A phase locked loop (PLL) circuit comprising: feedback division circuitry for receiving an output signal, the feedback division circuitry arranged to divide the output signal by a first division factor in a first mode of operation, and a second division factor in a second mode of operation.
The output of the VCO 14 is taken as the output of the PLL and is also fed back to a feedback divider 16 that divides the frequency of the VCO output.
The smaller the division factor N in the feedback divider, the finer the resolution of the PLL output frequency.

 PLL Policy: Changing at the Speed of Velocity Management
Under the old PLL policy, according to DA Pamphlet 710-2-1 dated 28 Feb 94 in Supply Update 14, units were authorized to stock PLL "to support a unit’s daily organizational maintenance operations." This was for a prescribed number of days of supply based on the average customer wait time (ACWT).
In light of these problems, PLL continues to undergo rapid changes in policy to determine the most cost effective and efficient way to ensure that PLL parts are available when, where and in the proper amounts needed.
PLL stockage for demand-supported items is based on prescribed number of days of supply based on the average customer wait time (ACWT), now 10 days.

 Diagnostic Ultrasound: PLL and ALL Fibrosis
The PLL runs along the posterior surface of the vertebral bodies, narrowing over the middle of the bone and expanding over the ends of the bodies and discs where it is anchored firmly and, like its anterior counterpart (ALL), it acts as a powerful stabilizer of the intervertebral joint.
The utilization of intervertebral joint and longitudinal scanning allows the PLL and ALL tissues to be within the view of the sonogram, since it is not obscured by bony or other hard tissues.
The sonographic presence of a posterior curve associated with the central PLL (Types 2-4) inflammation may be considered suggestive, although not diagnostic, of tension to the PLL as a result of a recent disc bulge.

 PLL
The classical digital pll consists of four main blocks: a phase frequency detector (pfd), a loop filter, a voltage controlled oscillator (vco), and an optional counter in the feedback path.
For example, if the pll is to output a 600 MHz signal, the counter counts down from a binary value of 111111, which effectively multiplies the 9.375 MHz signal by 64.
The pll is locked when the input voltage to the VCO reaches a steady value.

 Phase-Locked Loop Tutorial, PLL
There has been traditionally some reluctance to use PLL's, partly because of the complexity of discrete PLL circuits and partly because of a feeling that they cannot be counted on to work reliably.
Thus, in a PLL with type I phase detector, the loop filter acts as a low-pass filter, smoothing this full-swing logic-output signal.
Most PLL designs, especially for synthesizers where third and fourth order loops are common, use a different terminology, and deal mainly with the open loop gain and phase.

 Possible Causes for PLL Loss of Lock
Switching noise on the inputs is a form of deterministic jitter that is subject to the input jitter specification shown in the device family datasheet.
The PLL could lose lock during or after PLL reconfiguration if the M counter, N counter or phase shift settings have changed during the reconfiguration process.  Changes to the post-scale counters do not affect the PLL lock signal.
The PLL output will continue to toggle at the last frequency but will drift to a lower frequency (or higher, depending on the clock setting).  The PLL could lose lock since the output clock phase (and frequency) will have drifted outside of the lock window of the PLL.

 The Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) page
The Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) is a closed loop frequency control system functioning of which is based on the phase sensitive detection of phase difference between the input signal and the output signal of the controlled oscillator (CO).

 Performance of the MAX2395 PLL with 80kHz Comparison Frequency - Maxim/Dallas
Due to its internal architecture, the RF output frequency is at 5/6 of the RF LO frequency, which is generated from an on-chip integer-N PLL.
So the comparison frequency used by the MAX2395's PLL needs to be reduced to a number whose multiple is 240kHz and 13.0/26.0MHz.
The EVM (error vector magnitude) will be also degraded, since the PLL contribution to EVM is roughly proportional to its integrated phase error.
