Abstract
A PLL lock indicator circuit for indicating when a phase-lock-loop circuit is in lock includes a gate circuit coupled to the phase/frequency detector of the phase-lock-loop circuit for providing an output logic signal that is responsive to output logic signals from the phase/frequency detector being in a predetermined state. A counter circuit is enabled by the output logic signal of the gate circuit for providing an output logic signal when the counter circuit has reached a predetermined count. A latch circuit is responsive to the output logic signal of the counter circuit for providing a lock signal at an output terminal of the circuit, the lock signal being indicative of when the PLL circuit is in phase lock.
