ABSTRACT:
A design structure including a system. The system includes a fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL). The PLL includes a PLL input and a PLL output. The fractional-N PLL further includes a multiplexer. The multiplexer includes a multiplexer output electrically coupled to the PLL input. The multiplexer further includes M multiplexer inputs, M being an integer greater than 1. Two or more reference frequencies are applied to the inputs of the multiplexer, by the selection of one from the reference frequencies, the low spur can be reached.
