  • Patent number: 7786810
    Abstract: A phase locked loop with a current leakage adjustment function is provided. The phase locked loop includes a phase locked loop unit having a compensation voltage node, a digitalized leakage-detection circuit generating a plurality of digital control signals based upon the phase error between a reference clock signal and a feedback signal, and a compensation circuit generating a compensation current based upon the plurality of digital control signals. When there exist current leakages of the MOS capacitors, the current leakage adjustment circuits provided by the present invention may prevent the conventional phase locked loop from un-locking due to jittering.
