From the Back Cover:

An update of the definitive guide to PLLs-now with fully interactive PLL design software The Third Edition of this best-selling book/disk package will give you the skills needed to design efficient phase-locked loop (PLL) circuits-including digital PLLs and other recent innovations-for all kinds of electronic devices. It contains a new disk of PLL simulations for Windows, offering greater user interaction and better printing features. Completely revised and updated, the book provides you with clear, concise coverage of the theory, design, and applications of all four types of PLL circuits: the linear PLL... the classical digital PLL... the all-digital PLL... and the software PLL. Throughout the work, the author employs simplified design equations, which present the key parameters of each PLL type in a very compact form. You'll also find detailed case studies illustrating the positive and negative effects of particular designs-plus an entirely new directory of commercially available, state-of-the-art PLL circuits. The unique organization of this improved Third Edition will enable you to perform a PLL design from start to finish-and then use the simulation program to check and optimize performance.
