Abstract

A phase locked loop circuit () includes a controllable oscillator () for generating an output signal of desired frequency responsive to a control signal, a first phase detection circuit () for generating an output indicative of phase differential responsive to the output signal and a first edge of a reference signal and a second phase detection circuit () for generating an output indicative of phase differential responsive to the output signal and a second edge of a reference signal. The control signal to the controllable oscillator () is driven by the outputs of the first and second phase detections circuits.
