PLL BW correlation
Jun 01^st, 2011, 2:59am

I am designing a PLL for for DDR-3 purpose. Target frequency was 1.6G. Through behavior simulations i adjusted LBW 4Meg. But could you please tell me is there any way to correlate bandwidth with transient simulations. I tried many ways like finding settling time of the control voltage or o/p frequency to some %ge of PPM, but unable to correlate.

finally does any one in industry do this?

Thanks.

From there - the voltage characterisitics on the loop filter is the next way to get things like the loop BW.

Time domain responses of the voltage at the filter will show both zeta (damping) and Wo (loop bw)

Get the simulation in steady state mode, and then apply a phase or frequency step to the input and watch the charge pump and phase detector do their thing.

You may want to develop behavioral modesl of the whole loop, it speeds the simulation process up.
