Abstract:
A phase-locked loop (PLL) fractional-N type frequency synthesizer incorporates a sample-and-hold circuit. The synthesizer can reduce circuit size by eliminating a loop filter. Further, the synthesizer can incorporate fractional spur compensation circuitry to compensate charge pump ripple whenever a charge pump operates. The synthesizer or fractional-N type PLL can use a divider and at least two phase detectors coupled to a sample-and-hold circuit. A lock detecting circuit can initially determine a reference voltage for the sample-and-hold circuit. Also, fractional compensation is accomplished dynamically and in a manner that is robust to environmental changes while a control voltage is stably maintained for the voltage controlled oscillator.
