3.14.5 FM detection
If PLL is locked to a FM signal, the VCO tracks the instantaneous frequency of the input
signal. The filtered error voltage which controls the VCO and maintain lock with the input signal
s the demodulated FM output. The control vol tage of vCO isa linear function of the instanceous
frequency deviation, Hence, the FM signal is demodulated, almost without any distortion. The
VCO transter characteristics determine the linearity of the demodulated output. Since, VCO used
in IC PLL is highly linear, it is possible to realize highly linear FM demodulators.

3.15 FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER AND CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION -
The PLL can be used as basis for frequency synthesizer that can produce a precise
series of frequencies that are derived from a stable crystal controlled oscillator. Fig.3.34
shows the block diagram of frequency synthesizer. Itis similar to frequency multiplier circuit
except that divided by M network is added at the input of phase lock loop. The frequency of
the crystal-controlled oscillator is divided by an integer factor M by divider netrowk to
produce a frequency f,,./M, where f.,, is the frequency of the crystal controlled oscillator.
The VCO frequency fy. is similarly divided by factor N by divider network to give frequency
equal to f,.,/N.
When the PLL is locked in on the divided-down oscillator frequency, we will have

PLL and Clock Signals
The PLL and clock pin configuration for each DSP56300 family member is available
in the device-specific technical data sheet. The following pins are dedicated to the PLL ang
clock operation:
+ PCAP: Connects an off-chip capacitor to the PLL filter. One terminal of the capacitor
connects to PCAP, the other connects to VCCP. The value of this capacitor depends
on the PLL Multiplication Factor (MF).
* — CLKOUT: Provides a 50 percent duty cycle output clock synchronized to the internal
Processor clock when the PLL is enabled and locked. When the PLL is disabled, the
output clock at CLKOUT is derived from EXTAL, and has half the frequency of,
EXTAL. This pin is operational in all device processing states except when the PLL
Control I(PCTL1) Register Clock Out Disable (COD) bit is set, and during the tap
state, When the device is in the Wait state, the CLKOUT pin continues to provide
signal.
+ PINIT: During assertion of hardware reset, the value of the PINIT input pin is writen
into the PCTLI PLL Enable (PEN) bit. After hardware reset is deasserted, the PLL
ignores the PINIT pin, and it can have a different function in the device
* PLOCK: Originates from the Phase Detector, The device asserts PLOCK when the
PLL is enabled and locked. When the device deasserts PLOCK output, the PLL
cnabled but not locked. PLOCK is also asserted when the PLL is disabled, PLOCK’S
