An illustrative PLL circuit and method for generating a clock signal over a wide frequency range without gaps. In one illustrative embodiment, an extended-range PLL includes: a phase comparator that determines a phase error between a reference clock and a feedback clock; a loop filter that converts the phase error into a control signal; a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) that provides a generated clock signal having a generated clock frequency determined by the control signal; a divide-by-1.5 block that produces a reduced-frequency clock signal in response to the generated clock signal; and a multiplexer that selects one of the generated clock signal and the reduced-frequency clock signal as a selected clock signal.
