ABSTRACT:
A phase locked loop (PLL) is provided having a filter with a programmable wide and narrow bandwith. When PLL circuit operation is initiated or when the operational frequency of the PLL is changed by a substantial amount, a phase detector functions to force the filter in a wide bandwith mode to allow fast circuit operation in the transient mode. After the PLL output has settled close to a predetermined frequency, the number of times the output frequency varies above and below the predetermined frequency before reaching a locked state is detected and counted. After the output frequency has varied above and below the predetermined frequency a predetermined number of times, the filter is automatically switched to a low bandwith mode to allow the PLL to operate in a stable manner.
