ICs for microprocessors, DSPs, microcontrollers, and telecommunications are increasingly demanding higher frequencies ranging from 200 to 4000 MHz. Monolithic PLLs can meet these demands, but properly designing new monolithic PLLs is a demanding, complex activity.

It gives you all the transistor-level details for designing today's ICs and provides SPICE simulations and methods for verifying performance. This easy-to-reference handbook also thoroughly covers traditional PLL design and development.
