Abstract

PURPOSE:To compensate dispersion at the time of manufacture and to fix a loop band by adjusting the gain of a voltage controlled oscillator(VCO). CONSTITUTION:A V/I converter 2A converts a signal voltage from a switch 4 by using an operational amplifier 6 and outputs it through transistors(TR) 7 and 8. A gain adjuster 2C inputs the output current from the converter 2A to the gates of respective TRs 9-12 in common and according to a signal from a correction circuit 5, respective switches 13-16 are closed. Every time the number of closed switches is increased, the value of the current for flowing from the converter 2A to an ICO 2B is increased. When the number of closed switches is one, for example, the gain of the VCO 2 is minimum and every time the number of closed switches is increased, the gain of the VCO is increased. The ICO 2B is provided with two capacitors 17 and 18, the time for charging the capacitors changes corresponding to the current value from the gain adjuster 2C, and the frequency of an output signal from the VCO is changed.

FIG. 8 shows gain and phase characteristics of a conventional PLL circuit using a lag lead filter as a loop filter. It can be seen from FIG. 8 that at a high frequency, the gain is rapidly reduced and the phase is changed due to the influence of the time delay of the circuit.

However, such a PLL is actually used.
The gain of the VCO changes due to variations in the circuit when integrated into an IC. Therefore, the frequency at which the gain of the PLL circuit becomes 1 changes before and after a, for example, and the phase margin decreases. As a result, the phase transfer characteristic of the PLL circuit changes (peaking occurs), and in the worst case, it becomes an oscillating state and stops operating. That is, the phase transfer characteristic of the PLL circuit represents how much a certain jitter (noise) is overlapped with the input signal and appears in the output (output jitter / input jitter).
An example is shown in. In FIG. 9, the portion where the gain is 0 dB shows that the jitter appears in the output at the same level as the input, b shows the characteristic when the gain of the PLL circuit increases and the phase margin decreases, and c Shows the characteristic when the gain of the PLL circuit becomes small and the phase margin decreases, and d shows the characteristic when the phase margin is sufficient. In this way, the phase margin is reduced, and thus the peaking of the phase transfer characteristic (jitter is amplified).
Occurs, the frequency and phase accuracy of the PLL circuit deteriorates in the synchronized state.
