ABSTRACT:
A phase-locked loop circuit having a comparator that receives a target digital word representative of a non-integer target ratio between a main signal and a reference signal having a reference frequency. The circuit also includes digitally-controlled oscillator coupled to the comparator to deliver an output signal. One return loop is coupled between the output of the oscillator and the comparator. The latter includes a device to generate a digital word representing the non-integer ratio between the period of the reference signal and the period of the output signal, the reference signal and the output signal respectively corresponding to the first and second signal, and the fixed integer part N being equal to the integer part of the target non-integer ratio. The comparator compares the digital word and target digital word. The oscillator adjusts the frequency of the output signal as a function of the result delivered by the comparator.
