Introduction to PLL
• PLL is an Electronic Module (Circuit) that locks the phase of the
output to the input.
• The concept first emerged in the early 1930’s.

• The PLL is available as a single IC in the SE/NE560 series

(560, 561, 562, 564, 565 and 567).

PLL Applications
• Frequency Modulation (FM) stereo decoders,
• FM Demodulation networks for FM operation.

• Frequency synthesis that provides multiple of a reference


signal frequency.
• Used in motor speed controls, tracking filters.
• Used in frequency shift keying (FSK) decodes for
demodulation carrier frequencies.

PLL Block Diagram

• PLL is a feedback system that detects the phase error and then adjusts the phase of the
output.
• Phase detector: compares the input frequency fi with the feedback frequency fo and
provides an output error voltage VER which is a DC voltage.
• LPF : removes the high frequency noise and produces a steady DC level, Vf (=Fi-Fo)
also represents the dynamic characteristics of the PLL.
• Voltage Control Oscillator (VCO) adjusts the phase difference until the output
frequency equals the input frequency

Phase Detector
• comparator circuit compares the input frequency and the VCO
output frequency and produces a dc voltage that is
proportional to the phase difference between the two
frequencies.
• The phase detector used in PLL may be of analog or digital
type.
Even though most of the monolithic PLL integrated circuits use
analog phase detectors, the majority of discrete phase detectors are
of the digital type. One of the most commonly used analog phase
detector is the double balanced mixer circuit.

Low Pass Filter (LPF)
• LPF is used in PLL to get rid of the high frequency components
in the output of the phase detector. It also removes the high
frequency noise.
• helps to control the dynamic characteristics of the whole
circuit.
• An amplifier is used also with LPF to obtain gain.

Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
• VCO is a circuit module that oscillates at a controlled
frequency  .
• The oscillating Frequency is controlled using Voltage VControl.
That is why the module is called Voltage Control Oscillator
• The frequency of oscillation is determined by the resistor R
and capacitor C along with the voltage Vc applied to the
control terminal.
Kvco = VCO gain in Hz/V • The main function of the VCO is to generate an output
frequency that is directly proportional to the input voltage.
• Both the input frequency and output frequency are
compared and adjusted through feedback loops
• Vcontrol must be in the steady state for the VCO to operate
properly

Working of PLL
• works in these stages
 free-running,
 Capture stage
 phase lock stage
• Free running stage: Refers to the stage when there is no input voltage
applied
• Capture stage: As soon as the input frequency is applied the VCO starts
to change and begin producing an output frequency for comparison this
stage is called the capture stage
• Phase locked state :The frequency comparison stops as soon as the
output frequency is adjusted to become equal to the input frequency.
This stage is called the phase locked state.

• The capture range is the range in which the PLL attains the Phase Lock.
• The lock range is the tracking range where the range of frequencies of the
PLL system follows the changes in the input frequency.
• Capture range is always less than lock range

PLL spectrum 

• The dynamic characteristics include


 capture and lock ranges,
 bandwidth,
 transient response.

Monolithic Phase Locked Loop
• PLL is now readily available as IC’s which were developed in the SE/NE
560 series. Some of the commonly used ones are the SE/NE
560,561,562,564,565 and 567.
• The difference between each one of them is in the different parameters
like operating frequency range, power supply requirements, and
frequency and bandwidth ranges.
• Out of all the series the SE/NE 565 is the most famous. It is available as a
14-pin DIP and also as a 10-pin metal can package.

The 14-pin DIP Monolithic PLL IC 565

• Operating frequency range: 0.001 Hz to 500 kHz.


• Operating voltage range: ± 6 to ± 12 V
