Abstract:
Methods and systems for a sampled loop filter in a phase locked loop (PLL) may comprise a phase locked loop (PLL) comprising a phase frequency detector, a sampled loop filter comprising a plurality of capacitors and at least one switch, a plurality of voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) coupled to said sampled loop filter, and a frequency divider. The PLL generates at least one clock signal, and the sampled loop filter samples an output signal from the phase frequency detector when an average of charge provided to a first of the plurality of capacitors in the sampled loop filter is zero. The frequency divider may be a fractional-N divider. A second switch in said sampled loop filter may have switching times that are non-overlapping with switching times of the at least one switch. Capacitors may be coupled to ground from each terminal of the second switch.
