Title:
PHASE-LOCKED LOOP CIRCUIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/167670
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present art relates to a phase-locked loop circuit that enables power consumption to be reduced. The phase-locked loop circuit comprises: an SAR-ADC that includes two capacitors and outputs a comparison result of voltages occurring across the two capacitors; an electric current source that charges the two capacitors with electric current; a first switch that is arranged between the electric current source and one of the two capacitors and supplied with a phase difference between a first clock having a reference frequency and a second clock having a frequency higher than the first clock; and a second switch that is arranged between the electric current source and the other of the two capacitors and supplied with the second clock. The present disclosure can be applied, for example, to a wireless communication device.
