low BW pll loop filter
Dec 03rd, 2012, 10:25am
 
Hello,
While reading a doc from ee times, i came to know that there are few applications which require PLL bw around 10Hz, i wounder how people manage that kind of filters. The only one idea came to my mind when i read this nA charge pump current  and very low resistance. I would like to hear some implementable solution.

Thanks,
Raj.

Hi Raj,

Loop bandwidths of this magnitude are usually bulkwave quartz based. In other words, the Kvco is very low (often much less than 100 ppm/V). They are used for highly stable clocks often referred to as Stratum III or better. In some cases, the frequency varying element is non-crystalline, but also possesses an extremely low Kvco.

I hope this helps!

hello thanks for the reply. Do you mean filter might be a SAW based and VCO based on crystal oscillator??

Thanks,
raj.

Hi Raj,

Sorry for the delayed response...

hello thanks for the reply. Do you mean filter might be a SAW based and VCO based on crystal oscillator??

Yes. A bulkwave quartz based oscillator (VCXO) will have a lower Kvco in general than a quartz surface acoustic wave based oscillator (VCSO). Hence, the latter is most often used in low bandwidth PLL.
