Abstract

A phase lock loop having an bandwidth that does not depend upon N. The phase lock loop comprising: a controlled oscillator, a frequency divider by N, a phase detector for producing an error signal ER, and an adjustable converter, coupled to the phase detector and to the current controlled oscillator, for receiving ER and providing the controlled oscillator a control signal such that that the (Fico/N) ranges between a minimum value of Fmin and a maximal value of Fmax, wherein Fref=(Fmin+Fmax)/2.
