ABSTRACT:
A Phase-Locked Loop (PPL) circuit includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a reference signal oscillator, first and second frequency dividers, a phase comparator, a charge pump and a loop filter. The VCO has a plural number of oscillation frequency boards and oscillates according to a control voltage in a selected band. The first frequency divider frequency divides the output signal of the VCO. The second frequency divider frequency divides the reference signal outputted from the reference signal oscillator. The phase comparator detects the phase difference between the output signal of the first and second frequency dividers and outputs a phase difference signal. The charge pump inputs and outputs a current generated by a gain that was set depending on the selected band based on the phase difference signal. The loop filter increases or decreases the voltage with a specified low pass filter.
