The document discusses the design of a phase locked loop (PLL). It first defines a PLL as a digital frequency control system used to generate high-speed oscillations and acquire/track signals. It then explains the basic control system representation of a PLL and its typical parts: a phase detector that produces a voltage proportional to phase difference, a filter that determines dynamics, a voltage controlled oscillator that creates the output clock signal, and a programmable counter/divider in the feedback loop. Finally, it notes that a PLL can be modeled and simulated using Simulink.
