 PLL LOOP FILTER 

Th

AD9520

 PLL requires an external loop filter whose 

components are tailored for different applications. The third-
order passive configuration shown in Figure 27 usually offers 
the best performance for many applications and is the one 
found on the evaluation board.

Figure 27. PLL Loop Filter 

The default loop filter on th

AD9520

 evaluation board is 

optimized for reference clock cleanup. It has a flat transfer 
function with peaking <0.1 dB and loop bandwidths from 
0.5 kHz to 10 kHz. In most of these applications, the phase 
detector is run at 1 MHz or less. 
In the example in the Quick Start Guide to the AD9520 PLL 
section, the default loop filter shown in Table 2 results in a PLL 
with a loop bandwidth of 2.2 kHz, 80° of phase margin, and 
0.05 dB of peaking. The charge pump current for this example 

is 1.2 mA. 
For clock generation applications in which the reference clock is 
relatively low jitter, the high loop bandwidth (BW) loop filter 
shown in Table 2 is a better choice. Typical phase detector 
frequencies for these applications are 10 MHz to 100 MHz,  
and typical loop bandwidths for this loop filter are 50 kHz to 

500 kHz, depending on the configuration.  

These recommendations are not a substitute for using
