The analysis of the behavior of Charge Pump Phase-Locked Loop (CP-PLL) is a challenging task due to its mixed-signal architecture. Out of its two types, i.e. Current Switched CP-PLL (CSCP-PLL) and Voltage Switched CP-PLL (VSCP-PLL), the prior produces symmetrical pump currents, resulting in an appropriate transient performance to be analyzed. The loop parameters are important to set the gain, target frequency, and assure the stability of the system. The more important is the bandwidth of the loop, which is dependent on the loop filter parameters to perform stable operation and locking time. In this paper, the impact of loop parameter variations on the overall transient behavior of the system is investigated. It has been shown that loop parameters play an important role to ease the design of mixed-signal PLLs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
