pll simulation
Can anybody recommend PLL simulation tool rather than ADSIMPLL in analog devices website? I am not even sure whether such a simulation tool exists except that.
Thanks and Best regards
National Semiconductor has an online tool similar to Analog Devices. See if that works for you.
ADISimPLL was derived from SimPLL. It works very well:

There is also this but I have not used it in 7 or so years:

Of course you can also use VSS but it will not do synthesis, but is excellent for simulation:

Speaking of Analog Devices, be really careful with their evaluation board software " Integer-N Software (ADF411X, ADF421X)". If you load it onto any computer with older than Windows XP on it, it will corrupt your windows files and destroy the computer!
A real bush-league operation!
As far as I know, my friend, Radiolab SIMPLL does only allow AD components to put and simulate. For instance, If I want to simulate a pll circuit containing a phase detector apart from the one in AD IC's, can i do the simulation?
Thanks

No, ADISimPLL is specifically for AD parts, that's why it's free. The commercial SimPLL is generic for any PLL. For instance I have used it for a design containing a Skyworks part.
A good simulator for both linear and non-linear models is free and provided by Michael Perrott's group.

PLL design assistant is very straight forward.
Spend a few minutes on the tutorial for CppSim. I prefer this tool over matlab. It will save you time in the long run.
Thank you my friend. I am sure it will be very useful.
