ABSTRACT:
Separate charge pumps (58, 60 and 74, 76) drive integral and proportional control paths for a voltage-controlled oscillator (52) in a phase-locked loop (50). A control circuit (74) varies the loop gain of the phase-locked loop by varying the current supplied by the integral-path charge pump (58,60) through a range that is the square of the range through which the current supplied by the proportional-path charge pump (74, 76) is varied. As a consequence, the damping factor of the loop response changes very little as the loop gain is varied through a large range.
