Digital Phase-Locked-Loop (simple model)
Phase locked loops are very difficult to design, but easy to model with VisSim. Parameter values are very critical and it is difficult to casually determine them. The model shown here contains
INPUTS: 1. Constant Frequency Source, 2. Arbitrary signal
Phase Locked Loop i) Phase Detector - CD4035 followed by very sharp cutoff low pass filter, ii) Loop Filter - one zero/one pole, iii) Digital voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)
