PHASE-LOCKED-LOOP CIRCUIT AND METHOD

摘要

A phase locked loop circuit for generating a frequency-controlled output signal and a method for providing a frequency controlled output signal in a phase locked loop circuit are introduced. A controllable oscillator unit (260, 460) of said phase locked loop is operated for generating the output signal (261, 461). A frequency of said output signal (261, 461) is evoked by providing the oscillator unit (260, 460) with a first control signal (281, 381, 481) and with a second control signal (241, 341, 441). The first control signal (281, 381, 481) and the second control signal (241, 341, 441) are adapted automatically such that a given reference frequency is achieved in the output signal (261, 461).
