Description

The model PLVCO is a single PLL design that locks a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) to either an external or internal reference. Due to the availability of VCO's at a low cost this is a very simple way to realize a desired frequency. The performance is suitable for many applications. The unit is the lowest cost PLO architecture we have available.
