ABSTRACT:
A synthesizer that has a phase detector8and a charge pump circuit9for injecting an electric charge, or pulling it out that corresponded to a frequency difference of an input, a low-pass filter11for converting this electric charge into a voltage, a voltage control oscillator (VCO)13for changing an output frequency for this input voltage, a divider14for dividing the frequency of the input, and a voltage holding circuit10for holding the input voltage for a plurality of output frequencies of the VCO. A holding voltage of the voltage holding circuit10is switched with a switch12,and the frequency of an output clock signal3is switched.
