Description

위상동기루프 회로{PHASE LOCKED LOOP CIRCUIT}Phase locked loop circuit {PHASE LOCKED LOOP CIRCUIT}

본 발명은 위상동기루프 회로에 관한 것으로, 특히 온도의 변화나 소자의 변동 등에 의하여 입력 신호를 동기(Lock)시킬 수 있는 범위인 캡쳐 범위(Capture Range)에서 입력 신호가 약간 벗어날 경우 시스템의 캡쳐 범위를 확장시켜 입력 신호를 동기시킬 수 있도록 하는 위상동기루프 회로에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a phase-locked loop circuit, and in particular, a capture range of a system when the input signal deviates slightly from a capture range, which is a range in which an input signal can be locked due to temperature change or device change. The present invention relates to a phase-locked loop circuit that expands to synchronize an input signal.

위상동기루프(PLL : Phase Locked Loop) 회로는 외부로부터 들어오는 신호에 의해 임의의 주파수와 위상의 동기를 취하는 회로로 도 1은 종래 위상동기루프 회로의 구성을 보인 블록도로서, 이에 도시된 바와 같이 위상비교기(10), 저역필터(20), 증폭기(30) 및 전압제어 발진기(VCO, 40)로 이루어지는 폐루프로 구성되어 있는데, 입력신호(ΦS(t))와 전압제어 발진기(40)로 부터의 위상을 위상비교기(10)로 비교하여 오차신호를 얻으며, 그 오차신호를 저역필터(20)로 필터링하여 직류전압으로 변화시키고, 이 직류전압으로 증폭기(30)를 통해 전압제어 발진기(40)의 발진주파수를 제어하면 발진주파수는 입력신호의 주파수 즉, 위상과 완전히 일치하도록 한다.A phase locked loop (PLL) circuit is a circuit for synchronizing an arbitrary frequency and phase by a signal from an external source. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional phase locked loop circuit. As shown in FIG. It consists of a closed loop consisting of a phase comparator 10, a low pass filter 20, an amplifier 30, and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO, 40), which consists of an input signal ΦS (t) and a voltage controlled oscillator 40. Compare the phase from the phase comparator 10 to obtain an error signal, filter the error signal with the low pass filter 20 to convert it to a DC voltage, and use the DC voltage through the voltage controlled oscillator 40 through the amplifier 30. When the oscillation frequency is controlled, the oscillation frequency should be completely coincident with the frequency of the input signal.

이를 첨부한 도 2를 참조하여 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

도 2는 종래 위상동기루프 회로에서의 주파수와 전압의 상관 그래프로서, 이에 도시된 바와 같이 입력되는 신호의 주파수를 증가시킬 경우 주파수 f1에서 동기되어 주파수 f2까지 이동하면 동기가 풀어지며, 상기 주파수 f2에서부터 서서히 주파수를 낮추면 주파수 f3의 위치에서 동기되어 주파수 f4까지 이동하면 동기가 풀어진다. 또한 상기 입력 신호는 동기 범위안에 존재해야 만이 동기가 가능한데, 이 동기 범위를 식으로 나타내면 다음과 같다.FIG. 2 is a correlation graph between frequency and voltage in a conventional phase-locked loop circuit. As shown in FIG. 2, when the frequency of the input signal is increased, the synchronization is released when the frequency f1 is synchronized to the frequency f2 and the frequency f2 is released. From then on, the frequency is gradually lowered to synchronize the position at the frequency f3 and move up to the frequency f4. In addition, the input signal can be synchronized only if it exists in the synchronization range, which is expressed as follows.

여기서 KOSC는 전압제어 발진기의 주파수에서 전압으로의 변화이득 이고, KD는 전압에서 위상으로의 변화이득 이며, A는 증폭이득이다.Here, KOSC is the gain of change in frequency of voltage controlled oscillator from voltage, KD is the gain of change from voltage to phase, and A is amplification gain.

상기와 같이 종래의 기술에 있어서는 입력 신호의 주파수가 동기 범위의 임계 부분에 위치할 때 시스템의 온도변화 혹은 소자의 변화에 의해 동기 범위가 축소되거나 시프트되어 로킹(locking) 임계 주파수에서 언로킹(unlocking) 현상이 발생하는 문제점이 있었다.As described above, in the related art, when the frequency of the input signal is located at the critical portion of the synchronization range, the synchronization range is reduced or shifted by the temperature change of the system or the element change, thereby unlocking at the locking threshold frequency. ) There was a problem that occurs.

따라서, 본 발명은 상기와 같은 종래의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 창안한 것으로, 입력 신호를 동기시킬 수 있는 범위인 캡쳐 범위(Capture Range)에서 입력 신호가 약간 벗어날 경우 증폭기의 이득을 키울 수 있도록 하는 보상회로를 추가함으로써 시스템의 캡쳐 범위를 확장시켜 입력 신호를 동기시킬 수 있도록 하는 위상동기루프회로를 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, the present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and compensates for increasing the gain of the amplifier when the input signal deviates slightly from the capture range, which is a range in which the input signal can be synchronized. It is an object of the present invention to provide a phase locked loop circuit that allows the input signal to be synchronized by expanding the capture range of the system.

도 3은 본 발명 위상동기루프 회로의 구성을 보인 블록도로서, 이에 도시한 바와 같이 위상비교기(10), 저역필터(20), 전압제어 발진기(40) 및 증폭기(50)로 이루어지는 폐루프에 보상회로(60)를 구비하여 구성하고 즉, 입력신호가 동기범위 영역에서 벗어나는 것을 검출하는 동기검출기(61)와; 상기 동기검출기(61)의 출력신호에 의해 클럭을 발생하는 클럭발진기(62)와; 상기 클럭발진기(62)에서 출력된 클럭에 따라 숫자를 증가시켜 출력하는 카운터(63)와; 상기 카운터(63)의 출력과 설정되어 있는 기준값을 더하여 출력하는 누산기(64)와; 상기 누산기(64)의 출력인 디지탈신호를 아날로그 신호로 변환한 제어신호를 출력하여 상기 증폭기(50)의 이득을 제어하는 디지탈/아날로그 변환기(65)로 구성한다.3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a phase-locked loop circuit according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, a closed loop including a phase comparator 10, a low pass filter 20, a voltage controlled oscillator 40, and an amplifier 50 is shown. A synchronizing detector 61 configured to include a compensating circuit 60, that is, detecting that the input signal is out of the synchronizing range region; A clock oscillator 62 for generating a clock by the output signal of the synchronous detector 61; A counter 63 for increasing the number according to the clock output from the clock oscillator 62; An accumulator (64) for adding and outputting the output of the counter (63) and a set reference value; And a digital / analog converter 65 for controlling the gain of the amplifier 50 by outputting a control signal obtained by converting the digital signal, which is the output of the accumulator 64, into an analog signal.

동기 범위는 증폭기의 이득에 비례하는데, 입력신호(ΦS(t))가 동기 범위에서 벗어나게 되면 증폭기(50)의 출력은 상수 직류신호가 되지않고 계속 발진하게 되며, 이 신호는 동기검출기(61)에 의해 클럭발진기(62)에서 클럭을 발생하고, 이때부터 카운터(63)가 동작을 시작하며, 상기 클럭발진기(62)에서 출력된 클럭에 따라 숫자를 증가시켜 출력하면 이 카운터(63)의 출력과 설정되어 있는 기준전압의 데이터(기준값)를 누산기(64)에서 더하여 출력하고, 디지탈/아날로그 변환기(65)는 상기 누산기(64)의 출력인 디지탈신호를 아날로그 신호로 변환한 신호를 출력하여 상기 증폭기(50)의 이득을 제어한다.The synchronization range is proportional to the gain of the amplifier. When the input signal ΦS (t) is out of the synchronization range, the output of the amplifier 50 continues to oscillate instead of becoming a constant DC signal. The clock oscillator 62 generates a clock, and from this time, the counter 63 starts to operate, and if the number is increased in accordance with the clock output from the clock oscillator 62, the output of the counter 63 is outputted. And the data of the set reference voltage (reference value) is added to the accumulator 64, and the digital / analog converter 65 outputs a signal obtained by converting the digital signal, which is the output of the accumulator 64, into an analog signal. The gain of the amplifier 50 is controlled.

상기 증폭기(50)의 이득이 증가하여 그에 비례한 동기범위 또한 증가하면 동기검출기(61)는 입력신호가 동기 범위에 들어오는지를 검출하여 범위내이면 클럭발진기(62)에서 더 이상 클럭을 발생하지 않도록 신호를 보낸다.If the gain of the amplifier 50 increases and the synchronous range proportional to it also increases, the synchronous detector 61 detects whether the input signal enters the synchronous range and prevents the clock oscillator 62 from generating a clock any more when it is within the range.
