Abstract

In some embodiments, a feedback loop circuit includes a phase detector, first and second charge pumps that are each coupled to receive an output signal of the phase detector, a first low pass filter, a second low pass filter coupled to an output of the second charge pump, a clock signal generation circuit having first and second control inputs, a first switch circuit coupled between the first low pass filter and the second low pass filter, and a second switch circuit coupled to the first low pass filter and the first control input of the clock signal generation circuit.
