A method and apparatus for providing a radiation hardened Phase Locked
Loop (PLL) are presented. The radiation hardened PLL includes an
adjustable bandwidth loop filter. The adjustable filter modifies an
unfiltered voltage control signal and provides a stable voltage control
signal to a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) during detected radiation
induced transient events. The adjustable filter filters out radiation
effects by decreasing its bandwidth when a radiation event is detected.
