AT DC and lower frquency, PLL has positive gain margin. Why PLL is stable with positive gain margin.
 

PLL stability

Why you say positive gain margin? If the system is stable or unstable , you must see open loop gain
phase margin !!! Can you say more detail ?

sorry !!! I can see the paper

Re: PLL stability

The PLL can't have a +ve PM at low frequencies, check it again
 

Re: PLL stability

PM is fine. It has to be 45 degree for stability. But we should have3 negative phase margin for any feedback system. I am talking about open loop respons. AT DC we have two poles in third order PLL. One is from VCO which is 1/s and another is from chrge pump.
 

Re: PLL stability

I mean, PLL has 45 degree PM. But Gain margin is very high. We always expect -6DB GM in feedback system.
