Abstract:
A PLL is provided, comprising a first divider, a PFD, a loop filter, a VCO, a second divider and a controller. The first divider receives a reference signal and divides the reference signal by R to obtain a divided signal. The PFD compares the divided signal and a feedback signal to generate a compared The VCO selects one of a plurality of operating curves for oscillation based on a selection signal, and generates an oscillation signal based on an operating voltage generated by signal the loop filter. The second divider divides the oscillation signal by N to obtain the feedback signal. The controller operates in an initial mode to recursively determine the selection signal by calculating differences of the feedback signal and the divided signal. When the selection signal converges to stable, the PLL switches to a normal mode to operate on the corresponding operating curve.

Abstract:
A method for automatic frequency tuning in a phase lock loop suitable for use in multi-band VCO wireless systems having very limited initial frequency lock times is disclosed. A predetermined subset of VCOs out of a larger bank of VCOs is selected to serve as interpolation points. The interpolation point VCOs are pre-calibrated with a predetermined voltage and the resultingly generated frequency for each of the interpolation point VCOs is stored into memory as a (frequency, VCO) pair, one pair for each interpolation point VCO. When a desired frequency then is given to the system, an appropriate VCO is selected by interpolation using the (frequency, VCO) pairs of the two most adjacent interpolation points for tracking and locking.
