Apparatus, systems and methods are provided for digital phase-locked loops. A digital phase-locked loop comprises an oscillator module configured to generate an output signal and a phase detection module coupled to the oscillator module. The phase detection module is configured to signal the oscillator module to adjust a frequency of the output signal by a first amount when a phase difference between a reference signal and the output signal is less than a threshold amount, and signal the oscillator module to adjust the frequency by a greater amount when the phase difference is greater than the threshold amount.
