Abstract
Embodiments included herein are directed towards a subranging digital to time converter-based fractional phase locked loop circuit. The circuit may include a digital to time converter and a phase detector circuit configured to receive a reference frequency and an output of the digital to time converter. The circuit may further include a phase frequency detector/charge pump circuit configured to receive the reference frequency and the output of the digital to time converter. The circuit may also include a loop filter and voltage-controlled oscillator circuit configured to receive an output of the phase frequency detector/charge pump circuit. The circuit may further include a divider circuit configured to receive an output of the voltage-controlled oscillator circuit and to transmit a signal to the digital to time converter.
