    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a circuit (7) for minimizing glitches in phase-locked loops. The circuit is of the type which comprises an input terminal (EXT) connected to an input of a phase detector (8); a series of a charge pump generator (9), a filter (10) and a voltage controlled oscillator (11) connected downstream of the phase detector (8); and a frequency divider (12) feedback connected between an output of the voltage controlled oscillator and a second input of the phase detector (8).
    The invention provides for the inclusion of a compensation circuit (13) connected between the charge pump generator (9) and the filter (10) to absorb an amount of the charge passed therethrough. This compensation circuit (13) includes a storage element (14) connected in series to a switch (15) which is controlled by a control signal (Cpoff) from the charge pump generator (9).

    Abstract: A clipping stage, particularly for high frequencies, which comprises:

    a first power supply line (V CC ) and a second power supply line (V EE );
    a differential input stage which is constituted by a first transistor (Q1) and a second transistor (Q2), is supplied by a first current source (Q4, R4) and is interposed between said first power supply line and said second power supply line;
    a third transistor (Q3) which is connected between said first power supply line and said second power supply line and to said input stage and is supplied with power by a second current source (Q5, R5);
    an output stage which is connected to said input stage and to an output load (R L , C L );
    the particularity of which consists of the fact that the stage further comprises an active load (Q8) which is arranged in parallel to said output load (R L , C L ) and means (C) for driving said active load (Q8) which are suitable to drive the starting of a current pulse from said third transistor (Q3) to said active load (Q8), in order to provide a faster falling front of the output signal of said output stage.
