Abstract

See full text

The phase-locked loop (PLL) presented herein controls the phase of the output of the PLL. To that end, the PLL includes an oscillator that generates an output signal at an output of the PLL responsive to a comparison between a reference signal input to the PLL and a feedback signal derived from the output signal. To control the phase of the output signal, a modulation signal is applied to one input of the oscillator, separate from the reference signal input, where the modulation signal comprises one or more pulses having a total area defined based on the desired phase shift. To maintain the desired phase shift at the output of the PLL, the PLL also sets a time relationship between the reference signal and the feedback signal based on the desired phase shift.
