APPLICATION INFORMATION
basic design example
The following design example presupposes that the input reference frequency and the required frequency of
the VCO are within the respective ranges of the device.
Assume the loop has to have a 100-
μ
s settling time (t
s
) with a countdown divider N value = 8. Using the Type
1, second-order response curves of Figure 26, a value of 4.5 radians is selected for
ω
n
t
s
with a damping factor
of 0.7. This selection gives a good combination for settling time, accuracy, and loop gain margin. The initial
parameters are summarized in Table 7. The loop constants, K
V
and K
p
, are calculated from the data sheet
specifications and Table 8 shows these values.
The natural loop frequency is calculated as follows:

Using the low-pass filter in Figure 25(b) and divider N value, the transfer function for phase and frequency are
shown in equations 5 and 6. Note that the transfer function for phase differs from the transfer function for
frequency by only the divider N value. The difference arises from the fact that the feedback for phase is unity
while the feedback for frequency is 1/N.
Hence, transfer function of Figure 24 (a) for phase is:
