ABSTRACT:
A phase-locked loop circuit having a loop filter supplied with a detection indication of a phase difference between an input signal and an output signal from a voltage-controlled oscillator to control the oscillation of the voltage-controlled oscillator. The loop filter includes a first capacitance element connected between an output terminal of the loop filter and a first power supply potential point, a second capacitance element connected between the output terminal and a second power supply potential point, a third capacitance element connected in parallel to the first capacitance element when a first indication is obtained by the detection of a phase difference, a fourth capacitance element connected in parallel to the second capacitance element when a second indication is obtained by the detection of a phase difference, and control members for forming a first current path between the output terminal and the first power supply potential point when the first indication is obtained and for forming a second current path between the output terminal and the second power supply potential point when the second indication is obtained. The phase-locked loop circuit can be readily fabricated in the form of an integrated circuit, and it is possible to conduct a lock-in operation speedily and reliably at the time when the circuit power supply is turned on.
