About this edition

Publishing a web-edition of my master’s thesis report was a project that I kept delaying over the last years. Finally I had time to work on it. This report was delivered almost 7 years ago - at the time of writing - in June 2010.

Phase Locked Loop Simulator in SystemC-AMS

1. Introduction

When I started to learn SystemC-AMS one of the first circuits I decided to implement was a Phase Locked Loop. The reason for this is because I have had an experience simulating a 2.4GHz PLL while I was member of the Microelectronics Student’s Group, and I realized how difficult is to simulate such circuit, specially when the output and the reference frequency are several orders of magnitude apart. The simulator has to use a small time-step to accommodate the higher frequency but at the same time, the PLL will take a relatively long time to lock and reach the steady state.
