Hey Puppet1 I'm designing a CDR loop right now, and we're using Razvi's book.

 

[Puppet1]

is this a major company?

or you could message me privately and tell me

thanks

 

[easytarget]

No I'm just a poor college student.

 

[Puppet1]

is a company sponsoring your research?

 

[easytarget]

Nope, it's just a project for a broadband ic design course.

Hi

I have done but not now ........

 

[Puppet1]

ok

well not many companies doing it right now looks like.

upload your project in your broadband class when you are done!

 

[easytarget]

Sure, let's hope the loop locks.

 

[Puppet1]

just expand the bandwidth to make it converge (higher loop bandwidth) and then keep going smaller.

you might have to change tolerance settings in your simulator.

Hello Puppet.
I was in a start-up company.
A lot of work, but also lots of thing to learn. It was a nice period.
