What is the purpose of having a low pass filter in PLL?

1 Answer

Answer :

*It removes the high frequency components and noise.

*Controls the dynamic characteristics of the PLL such as capture range, lock-in range,band-width and transient response.

*The charge on the filter capacitor gives a short- time memory to the PLL
