Abstract
A control circuit includes a reset circuit and a determination circuit. The reset circuit is coupled to a digital frequency divider of a phase locked loop circuit and configured to perform a reset operation. The determination circuit is coupled to the reset circuit and configured to determine whether a first predetermined time interval has elapsed so as to control the reset circuit to stop performing the reset operation when the first predetermined time interval has elapsed.
Claims6
A control circuit, comprising:
- a reset circuit coupled to a digital frequency divider of a phase locked loop circuit and configured to perform a reset operation;
- and
- a determination circuit coupled to the reset circuit and configured to determine whether a first predetermined time interval has elapsed so as to control the reset circuit to stop performing the reset operation when the first predetermined time interval has elapsed;
- wherein the phase locked loop circuit further comprises an analog frequency divider coupled to the digital frequency divider, and the first predetermined time interval corresponds to a time required for the analog frequency divider to stabilize;
- the determination circuit determines whether the first predetermined time interval has elapsed by counting;
- the phase locked loop circuit further comprises an oscillation source;
- the control circuit further comprises:
- an operation voltage generation circuit, comprising:
