Abstract

See full text

A method of quickly locking a locked loop includes generating an intermediate reference signal having an intermediate reference frequency between a desired output frequency and a reference frequency of a reference signal, and setting an output frequency of a controllable oscillator to the desired output frequency using a first locked loop having a first loop divider value. The first loop divider value is set such that the intermediate reference frequency multiplied by the first loop divider value is equal to the desired output frequency. The controllable oscillator is then coupled to a second locked loop when the first locked loop locks, with the second locked loop is being activated. The first locked loop is then deactivated.
