    Abstract: A frequency tripler includes a double-frequency in-phase signal generator, a double-frequency quadrature signal generator and a mixer. The double-frequency in-phase signal generator is arranged for receiving at least an in-phase signal and a quadrature signal to generate a double-frequency in-phase signal whose frequency is twice that of the in-phase signal or the quadrature signal; the double-frequency quadrature signal generator is arranged for receiving at least the in-phase signal and the quadrature signal to generate a double-frequency quadrature signal whose frequency is twice that of the in-phase signal or the quadrature signal; and the mixer is arranged for receiving the in-phase signal, the quadrature signal, the double-frequency in-phase signal and the double-frequency quadrature signal to generate an output signal whose frequency is triple that of the in-phase signal or the quadrature signal.

    Abstract: A phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit is provided in the invention. The PLL circuit includes a first DTC, a first selection circuit, and a second selection circuit. The first DTC receives a first delay control signal to dither a reference signal or a feedback signal. The first selection circuit is coupled to the first DTC. The first selection circuit receives the reference signal and the feedback signal, and according to the selection signal, transmits the reference signal or the feedback signal to the first DTC. The second selection circuit is coupled to the first DTC and the first selection circuit. The second selection circuit determines the output paths of an output reference signal or an output feedback signal according to the selection signal.
