Abstract
A digital phase-locked loop is provided having a minimal transient recovery time for emitting an output clock signal which is synchronous with a reference clock signal in a normal operating state of the digital phase-locked loop. The phase-locked loop can include a phase detector for identifying a phase deviation between the reference clock signal and a feedback clock signal. Further, the phase-locked loop can include a resettable counter, which generates a digital phase deviation signal corresponding to the identified phase deviation. The phase-locked loop can also include a resettable digital filter for filtering the digital phase deviation signal. Further, the phase-locked loop can include an oscillator circuit for generating the output clock signal as a function of a filtered digital phase deviation signal. The phase-locked loop can also include a resettable feedback frequency divider which divides the output clock signal for generating the feedback clock signal.
