| 摘要 |
A frequency synthesizer includes a controlled oscillator which is responsive to a frequency control input signal, to generate an output frequency. A programmable frequency divider is responsive to the output frequency and to a divider control input, to divide the output frequency by a first integral ratio or by a second integral ratio in response to the divider control input, to thereby produce a divided signal. A phase comparator is responsive to a reference frequency signal and to the divided signal, to compare the reference frequency signal and to the divided signal, and thereby produce a first error signal. A sigma deltamodulator is responsive to a modulation input to produce the divided control input. A loop filter is responsive to the first error signal, to thereby produce the frequency control input signal. Ripple compensation signals and direct modulation signals may also be provided, to provide three-point modulator for a frequency synthesizer. Analog and digital embodiments may also be provided.
