Abstract

The operation of the phase-locked loop includes a startup phase where a reference signal having a duty cycle of 50% is applied to a phase comparator of the loop. A first divider of an output signal of the voltage-controlled oscillator of the loop is reset at each first type signal edge of the reference signal. The phase comparator receives the reference signal and a feedback signal from the first divider and generates a control pulse at each second type signal edge of the reference signal that causes a control voltage of the oscillator to increase.
