Introduction to Mixed-Signal Blockset for Phased-Locked Loops (PLLs)

 In this first part of the Modeling PLLs series, learn how to use Mixed-Signal Blockset™ to model and simulate phased-locked loop (PLL) behavior. Explore integer-N charge-pump PLL simulation in depth. 

The focus is on rapid what-if analysis using behavioral models. Start with a blank sheet of paper in Simulink® and quickly instantiate a PLL, configure its parameters, and simulate its behavior over different operating conditions. Transition from a black-box description to lower levels of abstraction and even customize the PLL implementation to suit your needs. Follow-up videos in the series will cover more customizations, impairment modeling, and different PLL architectures.
