Abstract
The present invention relates to a technique capable of implementing a frequency synthesizer circuit separated into a frequency synthesizer circuit part and an injection locked PLL circuit part and sequentially performing a frequency synthesizer lock operation and an injection lock operation to implement fast frequency and phase locking. The present invention comprises: a frequency synthesizer configured to perform a frequency and phase lock operation according to fractional number information and a first reference cock signal supplied from outside and thereby output a reset signal and a second reference clock signal; and an injection locked PLL configured to start a frequency lock operation after being reset by the reset signal inputted when the frequency synthesizer is frequency-locked, receive the second reference clock signal as a reference clock, multiply the second reference clock signal by an integer multiple of target frequency, and output an output clock signal.
