Abstract
A locking detecting circuit of a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit includes an output signal counter performing an output signal counting operation of counting an output signal of the PLL circuit during a counting time period, a period determiner performing a period changing operation of decreasing the counting time period until a difference between a current period counting value and a preceding period counting value becomes smaller than a threshold value, and a locking detector detecting a locking of the PLL circuit when the difference between the current period counting value and the preceding period counting value becomes smaller than the threshold value.
