Abstract

A phase locked loop (PLL) system receiving a reference frequency and generating an output frequency has a charge pump (28), loop filter (38), an N frequency divider (32), an R frequency divider (24), a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (30) and a phase detector (26). The charge pump (28) has a high current output (62) and a low current output (60). The loop filter (38) responsively coupled to the charge pump (28) has a first pole filter that includes a high current first pole filter capacitor (66), a high current first pole damping resistor (70), a low current first pole filter capacitor (64), a low current first pole damping resistor (68), and a first pole filter capacitor (72). A second pole filter can be added that includes a second pole filter capacitor (76), a second pole damping resistor (74), and a feed forward capacitor (78).
