Abstract

An apparatus for adjusting a pixel clock frequency based on a phase locked loop (PLL) includes: a pixel clock generator (11) for generating an actual pixel clock having an actual frequency; a division frequency counter (12) for dividing the actual pixel clock into several pixel clocks having different frequency ranges by means of multiplying the actual frequency of the actual pixel clock by a multiplier; a reference frequency counter (13) for dividing the actual pixel clock by means of lowering the actual frequency of the actual pixel clock, and generating a reference frequency; a reactive frequency counter (14) for dividing the actual pixel clock by means of heightening the actual frequency of the actual pixel clock, and generating a reactive frequency; a PLL circuit (16) for integrating the reference frequency and the reactive frequency to generate a required pixel clock having a required frequency. A related method is also disclosed.
