Abstract
An ADPLL circuit includes a time-to-digital converter (TDC) configured to generate a signal indicative of a phase difference between a first signal and a reference signal and a doubler electrically coupled to the TDC. The doubler is configured to receive a first voltage signal and generate a second voltage signal. The second voltage signal is provided to a voltage input of the TDC. The TDC is configured to generate one or more control signals for the doubler to adjust the second voltage signal.
