Hi Rick,
There are hopefully many applications where monolythics PLL can't
achieve the requested functionalitities or performances so that there is
still room to build block PLLs. I'm still desiging such things for my
job for instance.

Objet : Re: [time-nuts] PLL book 3rd edition
I know for me, I mainly use the "synthesizer on a chip" IC's
from Analog Devices/Hittite and National. Their data sheets
and ap notes serve as the "textbook". I'm not sure there
will be much call going forward for a book on fundamentals
that explains how to design synthesizers from first
principles using basic building blocks. Having designed
PLL's for over 40 years, I know all about how to do this,
yet is now a nearly useless skill with the IC's now available.
Only the IC designers themselves need these skills.
Occasionally I find myself mentoring these guys in the
hope of getting better chips to buy :-) (I have a
patent on a phase detector design that was made into
a chip, but the chip is built by Keysight's captive
foundry which doesn't sell much to the merchant market.)
No criticism of the book; it's just a market issue.

To all :
I have published the following book
" Microwave and Wireless Synthesizers: Theory and Design, Ulrich L.
Rohde,
John Wiley & Sons, August 1997, ISBN 0-471-52019-5."
and have since kind of drifted into the VCO und high stability
oscillators.
The first edition
"Digital PLL Frequency Synthesizers - Theory and Design, Ulrich L.
Rohde,
Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ, January 1983 "
has sold more then 10 000 copies. Is there any of you out there who
would
like to take over a needed update and take over the resulting
revenues and
unfortunately also the work and glory and who feels qualified to so ?
As I am more or less now in microwave technology and less in PLL
IC's, I
hate to see this standard textbook disappear.... Who can help or want
to
take over?
Ulrich
