Title:
DIFFERENTIAL CHARGE PUMP PHASE LOCK LOOP (PLL) SYNTHESIZER WITH ADJUSTABLE TUNING VOLTAGE RANGE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005004331
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A differential charge pump PLL synthesizer with adjustable tuning voltage range including a voltage controlled oscillator responsive to a tuning voltage to provide an output frequency. A phase detector circuit is responsive to a reference frequency and the sub­multiple of the output frequency for generating up and down pulses. A differential charge pump is responsive to the up and down pulses for generating positive and negative differential current pulses. A loop filter is responsive to the positive and negative differential current pulses for providing a differential voltage. A differential amplifier circuit is responsive to the differential voltage and a shift voltage applied at a voltage terminal for shifting the output voltage range of the differential amplifier circuit to provide a predetermined tuning voltage range.
