Abstract

A frequency-locked loop (FLL) logic circuit, including a validity signal generator configured to receive an external clock signal and determine whether a glitch occurs in the external clock signal; a clock divider configured to generate a reference frequency clock signal based on the external clock signal and a determination result of the validity signal generator; a synchronizer configured to synchronize a phase of an oscillator clock signal with a phase of the reference frequency clock signal; a clock counter configured to count a number of pulses of the oscillator clock signal during a reference time; and a code limiter configured to determine a range of a frequency selection value for calibrating an operating frequency of the oscillator clock signal based on the counted number of pulses.
