Phase-locked loop having sub-sampling phase detector
Abstract:
An example phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) configured to generate an output clock based on an oscillator control voltage, a sub-sampling phase detector configured to receive a reference clock and the output clock, and a phase frequency detector configured to receive the reference clock and a feedback clock. The PLL circuit includes a charge pump configured to generate a charge pump current, a multiplexer circuit configured to select either output of the sub-sampling phase detector or output of the phase frequency detector to control the charge pump, and a lock detector configured to receive the reference clock, the feedback clock, and the output of the phase frequency detector to control the multiplexer. The PLL circuit includes a loop filter configured to filter the charge pump current and generate the oscillator control voltage, and a frequency divider configured to generate the reference clock from the output clock.
