Abstract
A phase-locked loop (PLL), particularly useful for ADSL frequency locking applications, uses inexpensive external components in combination with versatile logic that can be implemented in a programmable logic device or an application specific integrated circuit. The PLL has the ability to revert to center-frequency operation in the absence of a timing reference and to adapt to a variety of reference frequencies through logic selection.
