Abstract
A phase locked loop device may include: a frequency modulating circuit configured to output a reference signal obtained by multiplying a frequency of an input signal by a predetermined ratio based on the input signal; a sigma-delta modulator configured to output division ratio information on one of a plurality of division rates at a number of times proportional to a frequency of the reference signal; and a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit configured to determine whether to activate based on a command signal, and, when activated, perform a phase-locking operation based on a fractional division based on the reference signal and the division ratio information.
