Non-linear transient analysis module and method for phase locked loop

摘要

A non-linear transient analysis module and method for phase locked loop (PLL) is disclosed. The method includes a pulse cycle defined by the larger period of two input frequencies; a pulse width defined by the accumulation value of period difference. Each pulse cycle is divided into two linear regions, a first voltage at the beginning of the pulse cycle as an initial value then applying a first linear equation to obtain a second voltage, and then the second voltage as an initial value then applying a second linear equation to obtain a third voltage which is used to be an initial value for next pulse cycle. An average voltage of the first region and the second region is inputted into the VCO to generate an output as the PFD input. The aforementioned steps are repeated to complete a simulation of PLL transient response.
