Abstract: A frequency locked loop circuit, including a frequency generation circuit, a first impedance circuit, a second impedance circuit and a switching circuit. The frequency generation circuit includes a positive terminal and a negative terminal. The frequency generation circuit outputs an output clock signal according to a voltage difference between the positive terminal and the negative terminal.
