ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for stabilizing output from a Phase Lock Loop (PLL) and the PLL thereof is disclosed. The method mainly relates to enabling the control voltage of a voltage control oscillator VCO in the PLL remained unchanged by means of turning off a charge-discharge current source of a charge pump in a PLL in response to a detected reference signal lower than a default value. Furthermore, the method enables the pulse frequency output from the VCO no exceeding a default tolerant frequency range in a distance from a desired output frequency. Thus, when the reference signal resumes the original frequency, the PLL can quickly lock the phase and the frequency again.
