ABSTRACT:
A fast lock phase lock loop (PLL) with minimal phase disturbance when switching from wide bandwidth mode to narrow bandwidth mode including a phase frequency detector, a charge pump, a loop filter and a voltage controlled oscillator, and a sequencer circuit for, at a first time, initiating an increase in the charge pump current to increase the loop gain to widen the loop bandwidth and initiating a decrease in the resistance in the loop filter to increase the phase margin of the PLL in the wide bandwidth mode; at a second time, initiating a reduction in the charge pump current to reduce the loop gain and bandwidth, and; at a third time, initiating an increase in the resistance in the loop filter to increase the phase margin of the PLL in the narrow bandwidth mode.
