Abstract

See full text

A phase locked loop (PLL) can include a test loop filter (100) that generates a control voltage (V.sub.CTRL) for input to a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). In a test mode, a control voltage can be varied and resulting output frequencies recorded, from which an open loop bandwidth can be determined. A control voltage can be varied by enabling a switch element (104-1) that can provide a current path through load resistance (RL) of test loop filter (100). Current provided to the test loop filter can be varied according to test signals to provide a variable control voltage (V.sub.CTRL).
