Abstract
A PID loop filter control method and apparatus are provided for generating a control signal to control a digitally controlled oscillator which generates a phase locked loop clock signal, where the PID loop filter includes a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller connected and configured to produce a PID controller output signal, and a transformed feedback module having a feedback summer circuit and internal gain stage connected in series to produce an M-bit control signal in response to the PID controller output signal, wherein an output from internal gain stage is provided over a feedback path comprising a feedback gain stage having a configurable Kfb gain value (e.g., 0<Kfb<4) and a filter element to produce the internal feedback signal which is summed with the PID controller output signal to low pass filter high frequency spurs and noise from the PID controller output signal.
