Abstract :
The conventional PLL (phase locked loop) frequency synthesizer has a long switching time because of the inherent closed-loop structure. The digital hybrid PLL (DH-PLL) which includes the open loop structure into the conventional PLL synthesizer has been studied to overcome this demerit. It operates in high speed, but the hardware complexity and power consumption are a serious problem because the DLT (digital look-up table) is usually implemented by the ROM which contains the transfer characteristic of VCO (voltage controlled oscillator). This paper proposes a new DH-PLL using a very simple DLT-replacement digital logic instead of the complex ROM-type DLT. Also, a timing synchronization circuit which makes the negligible overshoot and much shorter settling time is designed for the ultra fast switching speed at every frequency synthesis. Also, the hardware complexity and power consumption are decreased to about 28%, as compared with the conventional DH-PLL. The high speed switching characteristic in the frequency synthesis process is verified by computer simulation
