  • Patent number: 8213560
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a phase-locked loop circuit including: a voltage controlled oscillator; a variable frequency divider circuit for frequency-dividing an oscillating signal of the voltage controlled oscillator into a 1/N (N is an integer) frequency; a phase comparator circuit for comparing phases of a frequency-divided signal and a reference signal of a reference frequency with each other; a charge pump circuit for outputting a charge pump current changed in pulse width; a loop filter for being supplied with the charge pump current and outputting a direct-current voltage changed in level; and a control circuit for calculating a value of the charge pump current as a function of the oscillating frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator and a coefficient for setting a phase locked loop band, and setting the value of the charge pump current in the charge pump circuit.
