Hello, Parthasarathy, I hope my advice is a little helpful to your work. First, you should determine the frequency range and the gain of VCO. Then choose the loop bandwidth according to your application. Of course the damping factor is also a key parameter you must choose according to the application. The phase noise of PLL results mainly from refence clock and VCO. If the reference clock is a clean source, say a crystal oscillator, the loop bandwidth can be made larger to surpress the phase noise of VCO. If the PLL is used in a clock recovery circuit, the loop bandwidth must be made as small as possible because the input signal is very noisy. The choose of damping factor also depends on application. In applications such as SONET, the damping factor is large. While for some applicatons which requires frequency hopping, the damping factor must be chosen carefully that the loop response settles in very short time. The loop bandwidth, damping factor both related to the current in charge pump. You can determine the current from classic formula in many textbooks.
