ABSTRACT:
PLL integrated circuits include a charge pump having first and second input terminals that are configured to receive UP and DOWN control signals, respectively. A phase detector is also provided. The phase detector is configured to generate the UP and DOWN control signals at active levels during a dead zone compensation time interval using a control circuit that is responsive to at least one signal generated by the charge pump. The control circuit is further configured to support reference clock signal and/or feedback clock signal updates to the phase detector during the dead zone compensation time interval.
