Patent number: 6320469Abstract: A method and lock detector for detecting lock between a reference signal and a feedback signal of a PLL circuit. A number of clock cycles of the feedback signal is counted during consecutive test intervals defined by the reference signal. A feedback comparator determines whether the number of clock cycles of the feedback signal during a given test interval is within an expected range. Before lock has been indicated, a qualification counter is either incremented or reset after each test interval in accordance with the expected range determination. A lock indication signal indicating that lock has been achieved is provided if said qualification counter exceeds a qualification threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2000Date of Patent: November 20, 2001Assignee: Agere Systems Guardian Corp.Inventors: Donald H. Friedberg, Dale Harvey Nelson, Lai Q. Pham
