Circuit and circuit method for reduction of PFD noise contribution for ADPLL
Abstract:
A PLL includes a PFD configured to: receive a reference clock and a feedback clock, output a first signal, which includes first phase information for a rising edge of the reference clock, and output a second signal, which includes second phase information for a rising edge of the feedback clock. The PLL includes a logic gate coupled to the PFD configured to logically combine the first and second signals to produce a pulse signal having a rising edge, which includes the first phase information, and having a falling edge, which includes the second phase information. The PLL includes a TDC coupled the logic gate configured to generate a digital timing signal, which includes timing information for a phase difference of the first and second phase information. The PLL includes a controlled oscillator coupled to the TDC configured to vary a frequency of the feedback clock from the digital timing signal.
