A high-bandwidth PLL provides a fast lock time and tracks jitter on the
reference clock source, passing it through to the PLL output. A low-
bandwidth PLL filters out reference clock jitter, but increases lock time.
Stratix device enhanced PLLs allow you to control the bandwidth over a
Increasing the PLL's
bandwidth in effect pushes
the open loop response out.
