    摘要: In an ADPLL composed of a digital circuit, a technique improving phase difference detection in a vicinity of a phase difference of 0 (zero) is provided. A feedback loop comprises a PFD comparing phases and frequencies of a reference signal and a feedback signal, a TDC converting an output of the PFD into a digital value, a DLF removing a high frequency noise component from an output of the TDC, a DCO controlled based on an output of the DLF and a DIV frequency-dividing an output the DCO and outputting the feedback signal. An offset value is added at any portion of the feedback loop, a phase of the feedback signal is controlled and a value other than 0 is inputted to the TDC even when the ADPLL is locked.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a controlled oscillator and a control unit. The controlled oscillator includes a resonance circuit, an amplification unit, and a current adjustment unit. The resonance circuit includes one or a plurality of inductors and a first capacitive unit having a variable capacitance value. The amplification unit is connected to the resonance circuit, and outputs a local oscillation signal having an oscillation frequency corresponding to a resonance frequency of the resonance circuit. The current adjustment unit adjusts a value of a drive current to be supplied to the amplification unit. The control unit controls the capacitance value of the first capacitive unit and the current adjustment unit. When the control unit instructs the current adjustment unit to change the value of the drive current to be supplied to the amplification unit, the control unit also changes the capacitance value of the first capacitive unit.

    摘要: A PLL circuit of which low power consumption and miniaturization are satisfied at the same time is provided. A phase comparator of the PLL circuit includes a counter and a time-to-digital converter. The counter receives a reference clock signal and a low frequency clock signal obtained by dividing an output of a digital controlled oscillator, and a high frequency clock signal. The counter detects a phase difference between the reference clock signal and the low frequency clock signal by counting the clock number of the high frequency clock signal. The time-to-digital converter receives the reference clock signal and the low frequency clock signal. The time-to-digital converter detects the phase difference between the reference clock signal and the low frequency clock signal to the accuracy of a time period shorter than a cycle of the high frequency clock signal, after the output of counter reaches a predetermined range.
