Hi all,
From what I see in different PLL designs, typical N-divider output clock (as well as reference clock in case it's divided in R counter from quarz) has a duty cycle of approx. 20-25%. What's the idea behind it?
The only thing that comes to my mind is that the spectrum differences when compared to 50% duty cycle, maybe this helps against unwanted mixing, i.e. via substrate leakage etc. But when I look at FFTs of clocks with 20% and 50% dyty cycles, that does not look so straightforward to me..
