Abstract

See full text

A circuit includes a phase detector configured to produce a first up signal and a first down signal based on a difference between a reference clock and a feedback clock and a harmonic detector coupled to the phase detector, the harmonic detector configured to produce a second up signal based on the first up signal and whether the harmonic detector detects a harmonic lock between the reference clock and the feedback clock based on a first clock phase and a second clock phase. Additionally, the circuit includes a false lock detector coupled to the phase detector and to the harmonic detector, the false lock detector configured to produce a second down signal based on the first down signal and whether the false lock detector detects a false lock between the reference clock and the feedback clock based on a third clock phase and a fourth clock phase.
