Wide Bandwidth Phase-Locked Loop Circuit (MSC-22875)

Abstract:
Potential commercial uses and benefits are: Radio Broadcasting This PLL could be used in a radio tuner to lock on a specific frequency, providing a cleaner signal. Telecommunications This technology is a key component of the telecommunication industry for encoding and decoding voice and data transmissions. Computer Architecture This technology can be used as part of the clock signal that coordinates all CPU activities. Digital Modulation and Demodulation Systems This PLL can be used in conjunction with frequency oscillators to allow digitization of analog signals. Fiber Optics This PLL can be used as part of the interface between electrical and fiber optic communications systems. Benefits include: Superior Flexibility The advantage of this system over prior art is the broad bandwidth. Most PLL circuits can operate only over a narrow input frequency range, but this system operates with an input from 2 to 48 MHz. Compact and Less Expensive The design is more compact and less expensive because a single PLL system can replace several overlapping PLLs. Greater Reliability The overall system reliability is increased because a smaller and simpler circuit can do the job of multiple, more complex circuits. (Lower part count means fewer items to break.)
