Abstract
A phase-locked loop circuit comprises an oscillator, a phase comparator which compares the phase of an input signal with the phase of an oscillator signal, a detector which detects when the phase-locked loop circuit is locked within a predetermined frequency range and produces a corresponding lock detecting signal, and a filter circuit including a variable current source which produces a variable current in response to a change of state of the lock detecting signal to control the bandwidth of the filter circuit, a filter element which receives the variable current, a differential amplifier which receives the phase-compared signal, a current mirror circuit which receives the variable current from the variable current source, and a buffer circuit connected to the filter element which supplies an output signal to the oscillator to lock the frequency of the oscillator signal to the frequency of the input signal.
