Abstract

A phase-locked loop (PLL) is provided. The PLL may include a local oscillator configured to generate an output signal, a feedback divider configured to generate a feedback signal in response to the output signal, a phase detector configured to operate the local oscillator based on a comparison between a reference signal and the feedback signal, and a reset controller in communication with each of the phase detector and the feedback divider. The reset controller may be configured to hold each of the phase detector and the frequency divider in reset, and enable each of the phase detector and the frequency divider such that at least the feedback signal is in substantial synchronization with the reference signal.
