A fractional-N all digital phase locked loop (ADPLL) includes a randomly modulated delay having a triangular distribution to a frequency reference at an input of the fractional-n ADPLL to reduce spurious tones introduced by delta-sigma modulation of a frequency control word without requiring active control or calibration. In some embodiments, a delay line generates the randomly modulated delay based on a uniformly distributed random number with a flat spectrum that is shaped by a high pass filter.
