Abstract

A device for reducing a lock-up time in a digital cordless telephone. The telephone includes a first frequency synthesizer for generating a reference frequency, a receiver having a first mixer for mixing the reference frequency with an input frequency to generate a first intermediate frequency and a second mixer to generate a second intermediate frequency, and a transmitter having a third mixer to generate a transmission frequency. The device includes: a band switching controller for receiving an inverse channel selection signal; and a second frequency synthesizer for generating third and fourth intermediate frequencies to the second and third mixers, respectively, according to a channel selection signal for setting transmission and reception modes. The second frequency synthesizer includes: a voltage controlled oscillator for generating a frequency according to a charge pump voltage applied at an input of the oscillator; a loop filter for shaping the charge pump voltage being applied to the input of the voltage controlled oscillator; and a phase locked loop for comparing the reference frequency with a frequency output from the voltage controlled oscillator to generate a voltage ac…
