I need a good PLL, and the frequency I need to generate is well beyond the range of any 4046 type device. In particular, I have a need for almost 80MHz. Any recommendations? I'm looking for inexpensive, small parts count, and CMOS. -- Bill Posted with XanaNews Version 1.16.1.1

If you need a PLL to lock to an external clock, you're going to have to supply more information.

It is desirable for the PLL output to be as stable as possible. Loop response can be very slow, as the reference is stable, and will not be switched. A secondary requirement, however, is that it may be necessary to alter the generated frequency, depending on operating mode of the system. This would still not require a rapid response, however. The primary concern will be long-term stability of frequency. -- Bill Posted with XanaNews Version 1.16.1.1

Except for the frequencies involved, it is straightforward. -- Bill Posted with XanaNews Version 1.16.1.1

What's the exact input and output frequencies? Any idea as to phase noise requirements? What's your power and cost budgets?

It goes up to around 200MHz, programmable and available from DigiKey for example. -- Regards, Andras Tantos <http://andras.tantos.homedns.org>

If your source clock is as accurate as 1e-8, then your derived clock will also be 1e-8, as a PLL does not add cycles. The phase noise is a different matter altogether. There the phase noise of the VCO is the one that matters. You wouldn't want an external VCO, I guess. Have a look at the Cypress CY27EE16 clock generator, makes 200MHz. For lower phase noise, requiring an external VCO, the AD4001 from analog devices goes to 200MHz Rene -- Ing.Buero R.Tschaggelar - http://www.ibrtses.com & commercial newsgroups - http://www.talkto.net
