Re: Differences between PLL and DPLL and DLL

A PLL is a phase locked loop. It is a circuit that generates an output signal based on the frequency of an input signal. It's usually used for clock multiplication and frequency detection. Say you have a 1Mhz clock and you want to generate a 5Mhz clock that's in sync with the 1Mhz clock. A DLL is a delay locked loop and all that does is insert a variable delay onto an output signal based from an input signal. You can use it to put two clock lines in sync that have fallen out of sync because of skew for example. A DPLL is a digital phase locked loop and is just a PLL implemented in an IC instead of discrete analog components. Typically these DPLLs are cheaper, more power efficient and less susceptible to noise compared to discrete PLLs.

so what's the advantage of PLL over DPLL?

Re: Differences between PLL and DPLL and DLL
No advantage of PLL over the DPLL but the DPLL is a newer version from PLL. In old PLLs (after starting to be integrated) all parts of PLL were be integrated except some parts like the VCO, charge pump, ...etc. but now in the new DPLL it's totally integrated even on a single chip.

Differences between PLL and DPLL and DLL

Can't be compared together, because of diff. applications.

Re: Differences between PLL and DPLL and DLL

"No advantage of PLL over DPLL ..."? Is this true? "Can't be compared together, because of diff. applications." Where would I use a PLL and where would I use a DPLL Thanks, Gavin

DPLL is usually used for low frequency application. Its accuracy is limited by digital accuracy. PLL/DLL is used for high frequency case.
