Phase Locked Loop (PLL) Basics (061)

Phase-Locked Loops, or PLLs, are everywhere!
In this video I will be giving you a walk through what a Phase-Locked Loop is and what makes it work.
I will describe each of the building blocks that make up a PLL:
* Phase Detector / Comparator/Detector
* Loop Filter
* Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
* Feedback path including dividers
* Other additionsL Pre-scalars & Post-scalars

I love your transitions, very well explained and interesting to watch

[@electronicsfortheinquisitiveex]

Thanks, man! 🙂

[@aidanabregov1412]

Thank you for going the extra mile and providing resources to help us learn after the video!

[@electronicsfortheinquisitiveex]

You are very welcome! 🙂

[@W1RMD]

I've got a lot to learn! Thanks for taking me outside my comfort zone. (were growth happens)

[@electronicsfortheinquisitiveex]

Ya know ... I've been an electronics engineer for a LOT of years now and I am still learning! The trick is ... never stop learning! 🙂

[@youseficpedia]

very well explained.

[@electronicsfortheinquisitiveex]

Thank you! 🙂

[@juliojaciuk5191]

VERY GOOD...!!

[@electronicsfortheinquisitiveex]

Thanks! 🙂

[@alejandrotavolini1044]

Excelente video !!! Gracias !! Saludos desde Argentina -

[@electronicsfortheinquisitiveex]

Gracias y de nada. Saludos desde Dubuque, Iowa! 🙂 (translation compliments of Google translate.) I am glad you enjoyed the video! 😀

[@FrozenMilkOnACloudyDay]

Awesome, ty

[@electronicsfortheinquisitiveex]

You are very welcome! 🙂

[@ishakkellou2136]

Hello , thanks , i have a question please , can we say that PLL does not need to use the A/D converters which is a high advantage, because we don't have sampling and quantization error in the measurment of phasor , frequency or any other power system parameters ?

[@electronicsfortheinquisitiveex]

A/D converters are not required in a PLL as I have laid this out in my video. In their initial inception, they were not digital entities, but 100% analog. 🙂

[@ishakkellou2136]

@@electronicsfortheinquisitiveex thank you

[@electronicsfortheinquisitiveex]

@@ishakkellou2136 You are very welcome! 🙂

BTW I use the digital plls from silabs(skyworks now). Amazing sub ps jitter. And the dev boards are cost effective for lab applications.

[@electronicsfortheinquisitiveex]

That's cool! 🙂

[@t1d100]

Do you have a link for a DIY 10MHz lab reference, using an OSC5A2B02 OCXO, a Skyworks PLL and an Arduino? Please. I have a MC4044 in stock.

[@ornithopterindia]

👍 Dear sir please teach as modulus prescaler (divide by 64/65) used in vhf etc . Thank you sir.

[@electronicsfortheinquisitiveex]

I can add this to my video queue. Thank you for the suggestion. 🙂
