Abstract
A phase lock loop (PLL) circuit includes a phase-frequency detector (PFD) circuit that determines a difference between a reference clock signal and a feedback clock signal to generate up/down control signals responsive to that difference. Charge pump and loop filter circuitry generates an integral signal component control signal and a proportional signal component control signal in response to the up/down control signals. The integral signal component control signal and proportional signal component control signal are separate control signals. A voltage controlled oscillator generates an oscillating output signal having a frequency controlled by the integral signal component control signal and the proportional signal component control signal. A divider circuit performs a frequency division on the oscillating output signal to generate the feedback clock signal.
