ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is A-phase-locked-loop PLL circuit including a voltage controlled oscillator (VCD) controlled in oscillation frequency by a control voltage, a divider dividing in frequency an oscillation signal of the VCO by a frequency division ratio to produce a frequency-divided signal, a phase comparator producing a phase comparison signal indicative of a difference in phase between a reference signal and the frequency-divided signal, and a filter converting the phase comparison signal into the control voltage to be used for controlling the VCO. The oscillation frequency of the VCO is thereby changed from a current frequency by variation of the frequency-division ratio and locked to a new frequency after a locking period of time elapses. There is further provided a control circuit which changes a time constant of the filter circuit a plurality of times during the locking period of time, this control circuit operating in response to the output of the phase comparator.
