7C. MAIN LOOP FILTER DESIGN — ADAPT
Introduction
For PSpice simulation, the schematic model shown in
Figure 41 was chosen. The classical PLL model employing a
phase–frequency detector, a VCO, and an adaptive loop filter
is used to simplify visualization of circuit operation. The
parameter tables allow for modification of circuit performance
by providing an easy method for altering critical values
without necessitating changes to sub–level schematics. The
definition for the terms are:
tw = 2
π
,
fr = reference frequency,
td = time delay; allows delay of the start of the high
current mode (used to perform reference spur
measurements),
CPL = charge pump low current,
CPH = charge pump high current,
N = N counter value,
Sz = amount the N counter is being increased (or
decreased) by,
St = number of fr cycles that CPH is active; this value
is either 16, 32, 64, or 128,
VCPHH = charge pump voltage – high,
VCPHL = charge pump voltage – low,
K1 = VCO gain (Hz/volt),
fc = VCO frequency at 0 V control voltage,
H = reference spur scaling factor.
Modeling the Phase–frequency Detector
Figure 42 is a schematic of the phase–frequency detector.
It includes the reference oscillator model, phase–frequency
detector model, and charge pump models. V1 is the control
element used to generate the step time for switching between
CPL and CPH. The signal source VPULSE, is used to
simulate the timer that controls when CPL and CPH are
turned on. PW calculates the pulse width that simulates the
counter from the values for St and fr that are entered in the
parameter tables on the top level schematic.
