ABSTRACT:
A phase locked loop circuit including ramp generating circuitry for generating a dual slope ramp signal having alternating positive and negative slopes that are controlled by the level of the control signal, and sampling circuitry responsive to sample command pulses for providing a sample output representative of the level of the dual ramp signal at the time of sampling. The sample output is provided to a loop which provides the control signal for the ramp generating circuit. Also disclosed is a phase locked loop having ramp generating circuitry for generating a ramp signal, and track and hold circuitry having a plurality of track/hold capacitors that are controlled to track the ramp voltage or hold the ramp signal voltage in response to a sample command signal, such that only a capacitor that is tracking is switched to hold the ramp voltage in response to the sample command signal.
