Phase locked loop, electronic device, and method for controlling phase locked loop

Abstract

In a phase locked loop composed of digital circuits, the circuit scale of a circuit that generates phase difference information is reduced. A multi-phase clock generation circuit generates a plurality of feedback clock signals having different phases. A feedback side frequency divider divides frequencies of the plurality of feedback clock signals and outputs the feedback clock signals as frequency-divided clock signals. A reference clock latch circuit holds the frequency-divided clock signals in synchronization with a reference clock signal and outputs a held value. A control circuit controls the frequencies of the plurality of feedback clock signals on the basis of the held value.
