Abstract
A .SIGMA..DELTA. modulator-controlled, phase-locked-loop circuit, and an associated method, generates a frequency-regulated signal which does not exhibit undesired tones. Dithering signals are generated and are provided to a .SIGMA..DELTA. modulator. The .SIGMA..DELTA. modulator forms a division-factor control signal used to control the division factor of a frequency divider forming a portion of the PLL circuit. The dithering signals applied to the .SIGMA..DELTA. modulator reduce the likelihood that the .SIGMA..DELTA. modulator shall enter a limit cycle and generate repetitive output signals.
