    摘要: A PLL circuit includes a phase comparator, an integrator path, a proportional path, a current controlled oscillator, a divider, and a double integrator path. The double integrator path includes an intermittent operation gm amplifier, a filter circuit, and a voltage-current conversion circuit. The intermittent operation gm amplifier receives an output voltage of a filter circuit. When a pulse CLK for an intermittent operation is ON, the intermittent operation gm amplifier outputs its voltage to the filter circuit. When the pulse CLK for the intermittent operation is OFF, the intermittent operation gm amplifier does not output the output voltage of the filter circuit to the filter circuit. Even when the pulse CLK for the intermittent operation is OFF, an input potential of the voltage-current conversion circuit is held by the filter circuit, and a current to the current controlled oscillator flows. This makes it possible to oscillate at a high frequency without increasing an area of the filter circuit.
