ABSTRACT:
A PLL circuit has an averaging device for averaging a rectangular wave signal output from a phase comparator at every period of a reference clock signal, and for outputting the average value. After the establishment of the phase synchronization of the PLL circuit, the average value of the averaging device becomes a stationary reference level. Accordingly, the output clock signal generated by a voltage controlled oscillator can reduce its output frequency fluctuations in accordance with the reference level.
