Abstract
A frequency calibration loop circuit having a pre-set frequency channel word (FCW) command value, a bit inputted to obtain a target frequency in an oscillator and a pre-set minimum division ratio n (n is a constant) of a programmable divider, includes: an oscillator adjusting an oscillation frequency of an oscillation signal according to a control value; a programmable divider dividing the oscillation signal according to a division ratio to output a divided signal; a counter counting the number of clocks of the divided signal for one cycle of a reference signal to output a count value; and a frequency detector obtaining the control value by subtracting the count value from a reference comparison value, wherein the reference comparison value is obtained by dividing a Frequency Channel Word (FCW) command value by a minimum division ratio of the programmable divider.
