Summary :

The phase-locked loop (PLL) is a versatile functional device widely used in many electronic system. We found previously that the PLL can become chaotic under some operating conditions for wide range of system parameter values. The reason why the PLL can cause chaos is closely related to the homoclinic orbits of which existence are proved by Melnikov method. In this paper, we review the motivation and significance of chaos occurring in the PLL circuits. Then we confirm various chaotic characteristics of the phase-locked loop equation having the homoclinic orbits such as the fractal basin boundaries and sensitive dependence on initial conditions of a solution. At last, we investigate the route to chaos of the periodic solution of first type (PS1) by calculating the bifurcation diagram, and presents a new results that the PS1 can be chaotic via the period-doubling cascade.
