A phase locked loop circuit includes a voltage controlled oscillator configured to output a clock signal having a predetermined frequency based in a control voltage, a phase frequency detector configured to compare the clock signal with a reference signal to output a first control signal and a second control signal, a charge pump configured to output the control voltage based on the first control signal and the second control signal, a voltage supply including an output terminal connected to an output terminal of the charge pump by a transmission switch, and a leakage remover circuit connected to the transmission switch and configured to remove a leakage current flowing through the transmission switch while the transmission switch is turned-off.

Integrated circuit including phase locked loop circuit

A semiconductor device includes a time-to-digital converter (TDC) that receives a reference frequency signal and a feedback frequency signal, and outputs a first digital signal indicating a time difference between the reference frequency signal and the feedback frequency signal; a digital loop filter (DLF) that outputs a second digital signal generated by filtering the first digital signal; a multiplier circuit that outputs one of a third digital signal and a final test signal, the third digital signal generated by performing a multiplication operation on the second digital signal using a multiplication coefficient; a digital-controlled oscillator (DCO) that generates an oscillation signal having a frequency based on the output one of the third digital signal and the final test signal; and a loop gain calibrator (LGC) that receives the oscillation signal, generates a pair of test signals, and determines the multiplication coefficient using the pair of test signals.
