Abstract

See full text

A phase difference between a reference clock signal and a feedback signal is digitally detected. A resultant phase detection signal is digitally filtered, and a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) output signal is synthesized in a fractional synthesizer under control of the digitally filtered phase detection signal. A feedback path, which could include an integer divider and/or a fractional N divider, provides the feedback signal based on the PLL output signal. The combination of a wide bandwidth fractional synthesizer and a low bandwidth digital PLL provides for a low bandwidth jitter filtering function with a wide bandwidth PLL to suppress VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) noise and crosstalk.
