Aspects of a method and system for signal processing are disclosed and may include using a frequency doubler to double the frequency of a reference signal utilized by a phase-frequency detector (PFD) in a fractional-N phase-locked-loop (PLL) synthesizer. Detecting and correcting a digital reference signal connected to the input of the frequency doubler. The digital reference signal may be generated by amplifying the difference between a low slew-rate reference signal and a reference voltage through a comparator. The reference voltage signal may be generated based on the detected duty-cycle of the digital reference signal. The duty-cycle of the digital reference signal may be adjusted by varying the generated reference voltage signal. The reference voltage may be generated by using difference of DC level of the digital reference signal and half rail. The reference voltage signal may be generated using a voltage digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
