Abstract

An edge density detector is disclosed. This edge density detector is to receive a reference frequency signal and a feedback frequency signal. This edge density detector includes a first pulse generator, a second pulse generator, and a charge pump. The first pulse generator is coupled to receive the reference frequency signal and is configured to generate a first pulse signal. The second pulse generator is coupled to receive the feedback frequency signal and is configured to generate a second pulse signal. The charge pump is coupled to receive the first pulse signal and the second pulse signal to provide a control voltage signal. The control voltage signal is a phase independent with respect to the reference frequency signal and the feedback frequency signal.
