A phase locked loop has a digital phase comparator, a filter with multiple bandwidths, a voltage controlled oscillator and a frequency divider connected to the phase comparator to complete the loop. Control circuitry is coupled to both the phase comparator and filter for controlling switching between a wide bandwidth and a narrow bandwidth. The switching in bandwidth is in response to either detecting when the output signal is within a predetermined range of the reference frequency for a predetermined time period or detecting when the output signal exceeds and falls below the reference frequency a predetermined number of times. The control circuit is implemented with circuitry which accurately detects either condition and is capable of blocking any premature change of bandwidth.
