1. Lecture#1(pdf): Introduction to PLLs

Assignments will be posted below. You are expected to solve them on your own. You should submit each one by 09:00AM of the due date mentioned. Copying will carry strict penalties.

Topics include analog and digital integer-N phase-locked loops (PLLs). Building blocks include phase/frequency detectors, charge-pump, LC/ring-oscillators, multi-modulus frequency dividers, active/passive loop-filter, etc.

To develop intuition behind frequency synthesizer design, learning mathematical basis behind operation, and realizing PLLs at architecture and transistor level.
