ABSTRACT:
A phase-locked loop and method of operation are disclosed. One embodiment includes providing a phase-locked loop, comprising a charge pump system comprising a first charge pump and a second charge pump, the charge pump system configured to provide control signals, a dual path filter, the dual path filter consisting of passive components that are configured to provide summation of control signals, wherein the dual path filter includes a first node coupled between a first charge pump and a first capacitor, wherein the dual path filter includes a second node coupled to a second charge pump through a first resistor, wherein the second node is connected to the first capacitor, and a voltage source coupled to the second node through a second resistor.
