Abstract

An adaptive digital phase locked loop comprises: a digital configurable phase detector for receiving a reference signal and a feedback signal and for generating a detection signal indicative of a phase/frequency difference between the reference signal and the feedback signal; a configurable digital loop filter for filtering the DPFD detection signal; a digital locking monitor for monitoring polarity transitions of the detection signal and adaptively switching the locking modes and DCO tuning resolution; and a DCO for generating the feedback signal as a function of the detection signal.
