Abstract:
A digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) includes a voltage-controlled oscillator to generate an output clock, a filter coupled to the voltage-controlled oscillator, and a time-to-digital converter (TDC) that receives a reference clock and a feedback clock. The feedback clock is derived from the output clock. The TDC generates a digital output value. The DPLL also includes a cycle slip detector circuit coupled to the TDC. The cycle slip detector circuit detects a cycle slip based on the digital output value and adjusts the digital output value by a second digital value that corresponds to an integer multiple of a period of the reference clock.
