Abstract

A phase detector and charge pump combination is disclosed for use in a digital phase locked loop system. The phase detector includes a reset circuit that responds to the charge pump condition where it is simultaneously sourcing and sinking current. The pump up and down circuits are fast acting and balanced so that minimum conduction is employed for the phase lock condition.
