Abstract: A circuit and a method for restarting up a VCO of a PLL are introduced herein. The VCO restart up circuit receives a power down signal, an external signal, a clock output from the VCO and generates a trigger signal to the VCO to trigger the VCO clock to leave a stable mode. In other words, if the VCO clock is in the stable mode, the VCO restart up circuit generates one or more than one pulse on a trigger signal to restart up the VCO. Oppositely, if the VCO is not in the stable mode, there is no pulse on the trigger signal generated by the VCO restart up circuit and the VCO needs not to be restarted up.

Abstract: A phase-locked loop (PLL) and a method for controlling the PLL are provided. The PLL includes a phase detector, a charge pump, a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), a feedback frequency divider, and a detector circuit. The phase detector generates a direction signal according to a comparison between phases of a first clock signal and a second clock signal. The charge pump converts the direction signal into a control voltage. The VCO generates a third clock signal. The control voltage controls a frequency of the third clock signal. The feedback frequency divider divides the frequency of the third clock signal to generate the second clock signal. The detector circuit sends a pulse signal to restart the VCO when the control voltage conforms to a preset condition.
