Third Order Loop Filter for the VCXO PLL
This section provides design guidelines for a 3rd order loop filter for the 8V19N490 VCXO PLL. A general 3
rd
order loop filter is displayed in
Figure 10. Typical 3
rd
Order Loop Filter
The Rs, Cs, and Cp are chosen standard values from the 2
nd
order loop filter. In this example, the chosen values
are Rs = 33KOhm, Cs = 1uF, and Cp = 27nF. The following equation can help determine the 3
rd
order loop filter,
R3 and C3.
1. Choose an R3 value. Suggest R3 ~ 1.5xRs to ~2.5xRs or greater (e.g, R3 = 51KHz is used in this example).
C3 can be calculated using the following equation:
2. Pick γ = 4 in this example.
C3 is calculated to be 4.37nF. A closest standard capacitor value can be used.
shows some VCXO PLL Loop Filter examples for different VCXO frequencies. Other values can also be
used to meet other specific conditions and requirements.
