<p>A charge pump circuit 31, and a PLL circuit using the charge pump circuit, according to the present invention, comprises a glitch compensation circuit 36 to compensate for a slow glitch which occurs along charging/discharging of electric charges in a parasitic capacitance. The glitch compensation circuit 36 includes a comparator 37, a latch circuit 38, a capacitor C1 and transistors Q9, Q10 serving as a charge/discharge device. The comparator 37 is operable to compare between given potentials and apply a logic output signal to the latch circuit 38, and the latch circuit 38 is operable, in response to an output of the comparator at a given timing, to instruct the charge/discharge device to perform a charge or discharge operation to charge or discharge the capacitor so as to allow a potential at a second output terminal to come close to a potential at a first output terminal or a potential at a designated node in a loop filter of the PLL circuit.</p> |
