Abstract
A phase/frequency detector for controlling a charge pump includes: a core circuit arranged to output a first phase signal and a second phase signal according to a phase/frequency difference between a reference clock signal and an input clock signal; and a timing circuit coupled to the core circuit and arranged to generate a first control signal and a second control signal for controlling the charge pump according to the first phase signal and the second phase signal, wherein only one of the first control signal and the second control signal is indicative of an enabled operation when the reference clock signal and the input clock signal are substantially identical in phase.
