is the time taken to return from 900 kHz to 1 MHz ±5 kHz. 5 kHz = 5% of
the 100-kHz step input.
Other systems refer to acquisition and lock times as the time the system
takes to reduce the error between the actual output and the desired
output to within specified tolerances. Therefore, the acquisition time or
lock time vary according to the original error in the output. Minor errors
may not even be registered. Typical PLL applications prefer to use this
definition because the system requires the output frequency to be within
a certain tolerance of the desired frequency regardless of the size of the
initial error.
The discrepancy in these definitions makes it difficult to specify an
acquisition or lock time for a typical PLL. Therefore, the definitions for
acquisition and lock times for this module are:
• Acquisition time, t_ACQ, is the time the PLL takes to reduce the error
between the actual output frequency and the desired output
frequency to less than the tracking mode entry tolerance, ∆_TRK.
Acquisition time is based on an initial frequency error, [(f_DES –
f_ORIG)/f_DES], of not more than ±100%. In automatic bandwidth
control mode (see 8.4.2.3 Automatic and Manual PLL
Bandwidth Modes), acquisition time expires when the ACQ bit
becomes set in the PLL bandwidth control register (PBWC).
• Lock time, t_Lock, is the time the PLL takes to reduce the error
between the actual output frequency and the desired output
frequency to less than the lock mode entry tolerance, ∆_Lock. Lock
time is based on an initial frequency error, [(f_DES – f_ORIG)/f_DES], of
not more than ±100%. In automatic bandwidth control mode, lock
time expires when the LOCK bit becomes set in the PLL
bandwidth control register (PBWC). (See 8.4.2.3 Automatic and
Manual PLL Bandwidth Modes.)
Obviously, the acquisition and lock times can vary according to how
large the frequency error is and may be shorter or longer in many cases.
