Sales Connection Telecourse Study Guide

The rapid growth of high-speed semiconductor and communication technologies has helped make phase-locked loops (PLLs) an essential part of memories, microprocessors, radio-frequency (RF) transceivers, broadband data communication systems and other growing fields. This book collects together important writing on PLL into a comprehensive look at PLL devices, circuits and architectures. The text's five tutorials and 83 key papers provide a readable foundation in phase-locked systems. Analogue and digital circuit designers will glean a wide range of practical information from the book's tutorials dealing with devices, delay-locked loops (DLLs), fractional-N synthesizers, bang-bang PLLs and simulation of phase noise and jitter. In-depth discussions of passive devices such as inductors, transformers and varactors are also included.
