[Prior Art] The voltage-controlled vibrator must still be able to modulate or adjust the frequency to a sufficient range to cover a specific operating frequency L in the worst case expected. Voltage-controlled vibration 1:11 is commonly used in phase-locked loops. According to the phase-locked loop, the operating range of this limb can be used for riding or solving multiple frequencies. The worst conditions can be caused by factors such as supply voltage variations, process variations, and component tolerance changes. Traditionally, most phase-locked loops use a single-band voltage-controlled oscillator to provide a single-bright range (ie, single-operating frequency band). For a traditional phase-locked loop with a single-band voltage-controlled oscillator, the voltage-controlled oscillator's modulation range must cover the specific operating frequency range under the worst-case conditions. The voltage controlled oscillator must have a gain of phase tA in order to achieve a sufficiently large modulation equation. However, the large gain will cause the sensitivity of the voltage-controlled vibrating noise and the output jitter to be inferior. The multi-band voltage controlled oscillator provides a plurality of frequency ranges (i.e., a plurality of operating frequency bands) that collectively represent the complete modulation of the voltage controlled oscillator. The multi-band voltage-controlled oscillator cuts the variable frequency band into a complex operating frequency band, and the control signal received by the voltage controlled oscillator is P2005-040/0697-A40700-TW/^ 1325231, y clumsy: Λ4 The corresponding frequency range is only a small one of the operating bands, so the gain of the multi-band voltage controlled oscillator can be reduced. Multi-band voltage controlled oscillators can thus improve many of the shortcomings of single-band voltage controlled oscillators. Since the multi-band voltage controlled oscillator can operate in any of a plurality of operating frequency bands, the appropriate operating frequency band must be selected at any given time. Therefore, there is a need for a phase locked loop that utilizes a multi-band voltage controlled oscillator and has an automatic switching mechanism to properly switch the operating frequency band. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In a first embodiment of the present invention, an automatic switching phase locked loop includes a phase extractor, a charge pump, a band selector, a filter, and a band selector. The phase detector has a first input terminal for receiving a reference signal and a second input terminal for receiving a feedback signal, and outputs a phase detection signal corresponding to a phase difference between the reference signal and the feedback signal. The charge is received by the phase "[detection signal and based on the phase detection signal to generate a pump current. The band selector receives a control voltage and generates a band selection signal and a voltage setting signal according to the control voltage. The filter generates the control voltage based on the pump current and sets a signal according to the voltage to reset the control voltage. The multi-band voltage controlled oscillator is coupled to the control voltage and the frequency band selection signal for selecting one of a plurality of operating frequency bands according to the frequency band selection signal, and providing an output signal according to the control voltage, the output signal The frequency is within the frequency range of the selected operating band. The band selector detects whether the control voltage falls within a reference voltage range, and if so, neither the band selection signal is generated to convert the multi-frequency P2005-040/0697-A40700-TW/no 7 ϋ8·12. η, with voltage controlled oscillation II The control voltage, with a voltage controlled oscillator, the control voltage. *·The operating band of the monthly correction replacement page does not generate the voltage setting signal to set otherwise, then the band selection signal is generated to convert the multi-frequency operating band and generate the voltage slave number to set the other embodiment of the phase circuit. In one embodiment, the embodiment of the actual crying is only to increase or lock the debt test, whether the more active switching circuit is locked, and the frequency band selection 2, the k-lock signal, and more according to the locking signal to generate the frequency.

And a band selector 15. The phase detector 10 receives a reference signal CLKr and a feedback signal CLKF' to detect the instantaneous phase difference between the two, and outputs a phase detection signal SpD corresponding to the detected phase difference to the charge pump u. The charge ^ Η then generates a pump current lCP ′ whose on-time is determined by the phase difference represented by the phase detection signal SPD and transmits the pump current Icp to the filtered state 12 . The filter 12 in turn generates a control voltage Vctrl corresponding to the pump current Icp. When receiving the voltage setting signal svs from the band selector 15, the filter 12 sets the control voltage Vctrl to at least one of the voltages. The multi-band VCO 13 system has a complex (N) operating band, each operating band covering a particular frequency range. The multi-band vc 〇 13 is selected based on one of the band selection signals sB from the band selector 15 and operates in one of the operating bands. The multi-band VC〇 13 is coupled to the control voltage VCTRL from the filter and outputs an output signal CLK〇. The frequency of the round-trip signal CLK〇 falls within the individual frequency range of the selected frequency band and is controlled by the control voltage VCTRL. The output signal CLK is divided by the programmable amplifier 14 into a feedback signal CLKF. It is noted that, as is well known in the art, the programmable frequency divider 14 can be removed and the output signal coupled as the feedback signal CLKF.

Referring first to Figure 2A, the multi-band VCO 13 system has a plurality of operating bands B1 through BN, each band having its own gain transfer function. The operating band B1 covers the frequency range from the frequency fl to f3, the operating band B2 covers the frequency range of the frequencies f3 to f5, ..., and the operating band BN covers the frequency range of the frequencies fM to fN.

In the present invention, the band selector 15 generates the frequency selection signal SB and the voltage setting signal Svs based on the control voltage VCTRL supplied from the filter 12. When the frequency selector 15 provides the frequency selection signal SB to switch the operating band of the multi-band VCO 13, the voltage setting signal Svs is also provided to control the filter 12 to set the control voltage VCTRLS into a predetermined voltage - 〇 in the present invention. In one embodiment, the band selector 15 detects whether the control voltage VCTRL falls within a reference voltage range to determine whether to provide the frequency P2005-040/0697-A40700-TW/f7 10 1325231, __-!

If the control voltage VCTRL falls outside the reference voltage range, the band selector 15 provides the frequency selection signal SB and the voltage setting signal Svs. Otherwise, the band selector 15 provides neither the frequency selection signal SB nor the voltage setting signal Svs. Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the block diagram of the band selector 15 of Fig. 1 provided by the present invention. As shown, in the band selector 15, a reference voltage generator 31 generates at least one reference voltage VREF, wherein the at least one reference voltage VREF corresponds to a reference voltage range, and then the reference voltage VREF is supplied to Comparator 32. The comparator 32 compares the control voltage VCTRL with the at least one reference voltage VREF to determine whether the control voltage falls within the reference voltage range, and then generates a comparison signal Sc corresponding to the comparison result. The comparison signal Sc is transmitted to the control module 33. The control module 33 then outputs the frequency band selection signal SB and the voltage setting signal Svs based on the comparison signal Sc. If the control power M VcTRL is outside the reference voltage range, the control module 33 generates the band selection signal SB to switch the operating band of the multi-band VCO 13, and outputs the voltage setting signal Svs to control the filter 12 to set the control voltage.

The comparator 32 compares the control voltage VCTRL with the first and second reference voltages VreH and Vref2 to determine which of the voltage regions A, B, and C the control voltage VCTRL falls in, and transmits the comparison result to the comparison signal Sc to Control module 33. Referring to Fig. 4B, if the control voltage Vctrl is within the voltage range A, the control module 3 3 generates a band selection signal SB to switch the multi-band VCO 13 to the next higher frequency band. At the same time, the control module 3 3 outputs the voltage setting signal Sys to control the filter 12 to pull the control voltage VCTRL to a first predetermined voltage.

The lock detector 51 receives the reference signal CLKr and the feedback signal CLKF, detects whether the automatic switching PLL 500 is locked, and transmits a lock signal SL corresponding to the detection result to the band selector 12. The band selector 12 receives the lock signal SL in addition to the control voltage VCTRL, and generates the band selection signal SB and the voltage setting signal Svs according to both the control voltage VCTRL and the lock signal SL. It should be noted that the connection between the lock detector 51 and the remaining blocks in Fig. 5 is only an example. For example, the lock detector 51 can separately receive the output signal S〇 to detect whether the automatic switching PLL 500 is locked. Figure 6 is an embodiment of a block diagram of the band selector 15 of Figure 5 of the present invention. The difference between this figure and FIG. 3 is that the control module 33 receives the lock signal SL in addition to the comparison signal Sc, and outputs the band selection signal SB and the voltage setting signal Svs according to both the comparison signal Sc and the lock signal SL. The detailed description of each block is omitted here for brevity. In this embodiment, the reference voltage generator 31 generates at least one reference voltage Vref, wherein the at least one reference voltage Vref corresponds to a reference voltage range and at least one additional reference voltage range, wherein the additional reference voltage range is adjacent to The reference voltage range, and the reference voltage generator 31 P2005-040/0697-A40700-TW/£/ 13 1325231

係將該參考電壓VREF提供至比較器32。比較器32係將控 制電壓VcTRL與該至少一參考電壓VreF比較,用以決定控 制電壓vCTRL是否落於該參考電壓範圍内或是該至少一額 外參考電壓範圍當中之一内,並繼而產生一對應於比較結 果之比較訊號Sc。該比較訊號Sc係被傳送至控制模組33。 控制模組33於接收比較訊號Sc後,係根據比較訊號Sc與 鎖定訊號SL兩者來輸出頻帶選擇訊號SB及電壓設定訊號 Svs。與第4圖類似,如果比較訊號Sc指示控制電壓VCTRL 落於參考電壓範圍之外時,則控制模組33會產生頻帶選擇 訊號SB以切換多頻帶VCO 13之操作頻帶,並且輸出電壓 設定訊號Svs以控制滤、波器1 2去設定控制電壓VcTRL為至 少一既定電壓當中之一。否則,控制模組33既不產生頻帶 選擇訊號SB以轉換多頻帶VCO 13之操作頻帶亦不產生電 壓設定訊號Svs以控制滤波器12去設定控制電壓VcTRL。 然而,第6圖與第3圖有些許差異。在此實施例中,如果 比較訊號Sc指不控制電壓VcTRL洛於參考電壓範圍之外 時,兩個情況會被加以區分。在第一情況中,控制電塵This reference voltage VREF is supplied to the comparator 32. The comparator 32 compares the control voltage VcTRL with the at least one reference voltage VreF to determine whether the control voltage vCTRL falls within the reference voltage range or one of the at least one additional reference voltage range, and then generates a corresponding The comparison signal Sc of the comparison result. The comparison signal Sc is transmitted to the control module 33. After receiving the comparison signal Sc, the control module 33 outputs the band selection signal SB and the voltage setting signal Svs according to both the comparison signal Sc and the lock signal SL. Similar to FIG. 4, if the comparison signal Sc indicates that the control voltage VCTRL falls outside the reference voltage range, the control module 33 generates the band selection signal SB to switch the operating band of the multi-band VCO 13, and outputs the voltage setting signal Svs. The control filter and the wave filter 12 are used to set the control voltage VcTRL to be one of at least one predetermined voltage. Otherwise, the control module 33 neither generates the band selection signal SB to convert the operating band of the multi-band VCO 13 nor generates the voltage setting signal Svs to control the filter 12 to set the control voltage VcTRL. However, there is a slight difference between Figure 6 and Figure 3. In this embodiment, if the comparison signal Sc indicates that the control voltage VcTRL is outside the reference voltage range, the two cases are distinguished. In the first case, controlling the electric dust

VcTRL 係落於該至少一額外參考電壓範圍當中之一。在此情況 下,控制模組33會再參考鎖定訊號SL以檢查自動切換PLL 是否處於鎖定狀態。於接收到鎖定訊號SL指示自動切換 PLL 500處於鎖定狀態之前,控制模組33既不產生頻帶選 擇訊號SB亦不產生電壓設定訊號Svs。在第二情況中,控 制電壓VCTRL係不落於任一額外參考電壓範圍内。在此情 況下,控制模組33不檢查鎖定訊號SL即馬上產生頻帶選 P2005-040/0697-A40700-TW/f/ 14 1325231 :¾ 替換頁 擇訊號Sb與電壓設定訊號Svs。在一貫施例中,不論是苐 一及第二情況,控制模組33係決定多頻帶VCO 13切換至 哪一頻帶以及控制電壓VCTRL係設定為該既定電壓當中何 者。 第7A圖係分別顯示本發明之另一實施例之參考電壓 分佈圖。第7B-7C圖係顯示當參考電壓如第7A圖所示時, 第2A-2B圖之多頻帶VCO之操作頻帶切換機制。 第7A圖與第4A圖之差異僅在於電壓範圍A係由一第 三參考電壓Vref3分割成兩個次電壓區域A1及A2,以及 類似地,電壓範圍C係由一第四參考電壓Vref4分割成兩 個次電壓區域C1及C2。這意謂參考電壓產生器31係產生 參考電壓Vrefl至Vref4。介於參考電壓Vrefl及Vref2之 間的電壓區域B係作為參考電壓區域’而電壓範圍A内介 於參考電壓Vref3及Vrefl間之次電壓範圍A2,與以及電 壓範圍C内介於參考電壓Vref2及Vref4間之次電壓C1, 係作為額外電壓範圍。 比較器32於是將控制電壓VCTRL與第一至第四參考電 壓Vrefl至Vref4作比較,以決定控制電壓VCTRL落於電壓 區域Al、A2、B、C1以及C2當中何者,並且將比較結果 透過比較訊號Sc傳送至控制模組33。如第7B圖所示,類 似第4B圖,如果控制電壓 VcTRL 落於電壓範圍B内,則 控制模組33既不產生頻帶選擇訊號SB以轉換多頻帶VCO 13之操作頻帶,亦不產生電壓設定訊號Svs以控制濾波器 12去設定控制電壓 VcTRL ° P2005-040/0697-A40700-TW/f/ 15 1325231 而同樣類似地,如果控制模組33接收到比較訊號Sc 指不控制電壓VcTRL洛於電壓範圍A及C時’則控制板組 33會產生頻帶選擇訊號SB以分別將多頻帶VCO 13切換至 下一較高及下一較低之頻帶,並且輸出電壓設定訊號Svs 以控制濾波器12將控制電壓VCTRL分別拉高為第一既定電 壓和拉低為第二既定電壓。在一實施例中,該第一及第二 既定電壓分別為該第一及第二參考電壓Vrefl及Vref2。然 而,第7B圖與第4B圖之差異在於:倘若控制電壓VCTRL 分別於電壓範圍A之次電壓範圍A2内以及電壓範圍C之 次電壓C1内時,則控制模組33直到接收到鎖定訊號SL 指示自動切換PLL處於鎖定狀態之時刻,才會產生頻帶選 擇訊號Sb及電壓設定訊號Svs。 更明確而言,如果控制模組33接收到比較訊號Sc指 不控制電壓Vctrl洛於電麼祐圍A1及C2時,則控制相:組 33會產生頻帶選擇訊號SB以分別將多頻帶VCO 13切換至 下一較高及下一較低之頻帶,並且輸出電壓設定訊號Svs 以控制滤·波器1 2將控制電壓VcTRL分別拉南和拉低。然 而,如果控制模組33接收到比較訊號Sc指示控制電壓 VCTRL落於電壓範圍A2及C1時,則控制模組33會進一步 檢查鎖定訊號SL以偵測自動切換PLL500是否已經鎖定。 如果鎖定訊號SL指示自動切換PLL 500目前係處於鎖定狀 態,則控制模組33同樣會產生頻帶選擇訊號SB以分別將 多頻帶VCO切換至下一較高及下一較低之頻帶,並且輸出 電壓設定訊號Svs以控制遽波12將控制電壓Vctrl分別 P2005-040/0697-A40700-TW/f/ 16 1325231 9|:.1日!正替換頁 拉高和拉低;否則,控制模組33直到接收到鎖定訊號SL 指示自動切換PLL 500處於鎖定狀態之時刻,才會產生頻 帶選擇訊號SB及電壓設定訊號Svs。 類似地,第7C圖與第4C圖之差異在於:倘若控制電 壓VCTRL分別於電壓範圍A之次電壓範圍A2與電壓範圍C 之次電壓C1内,則控制模組33直到接收到鎖定訊號SL 指示自動切換PLL處於鎖定狀態之時刻,才會產生頻帶選 擇訊號SB及電壓設定訊號Svs。第7C圖與第7B圖之差異 僅在於:如果控制電壓VCTRL落入區域A,則控制模組33 係產生頻帶選擇訊號SB以將多頻帶VCO切換至較低而非 較南之操作頻帶;而如果控制電壓VcTRL洛入區域C,則 控制模組33係產生頻待選擇訊號SB以將多頻帶VCO切換 至較高而非較低之操作頻帶。相關細節與第7B圖所述者 相當類似,在此為簡明起見不再贅述。 雖然本發明已以較佳實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以 限定本發明,任何熟習此技藝者,在不脫離本發明之精神 和範圍内,當可作些許之更動與潤飾,因此本發明之保護 範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖係本發明所提供之一利用多頻帶壓控振盪器之 自動切換鎖相迴路之方塊架構圖之一實施例; 第2A及2B圖係顯示典型多頻帶壓控振盪器之增益轉 換函數之範例圖; 第3圖係本發明所提供第1圖之頻帶選擇器之方塊架 P2005-040/0697-A40700-TW/f7 17 1325231 , 年月曰修 構圖之一實施例; 第4A圖係分別顯示本發明之一實施例之參考電壓分 佈圖; • 第4B-4C圖係顯示當參考電壓如第4A圖所示時,第 2A-2B圖之多頻帶VCO之操作頻帶切換機制; 第5圖係本發明所提供之自動切換鎖相迴路之方塊架 構圖之另一實施例; 第6圖係本發明所提供第5圖之頻帶選擇器之方塊架 構圖之一實施例; 第7A圖係分別顯示本發明之另一實施例之參考電壓 分佈圖;以及 第7B-7C圖係顯示當參考電壓如第7A圖所示時,第 2A-2B圖之多頻帶VCO之操作頻帶切換機制。 【主要元件符號說明】 11〜電荷泵 13〜多頻帶壓控振盪器 15〜頻帶選擇器 32〜比較器 51〜鎖定偵測器 B〜參考電壓範圍 C、Cl、C2〜電壓範圍 CLK〇〜輸出訊號 fl-f6,fM,fN〜頻帶之 10〜相位偵測器 12〜慮波器 14〜可程式除頻器 31〜參考電壓產生器 33〜控制模組 A、Al、A2〜電壓範圍 B1-BN〜頻帶 CLKf〜回授訊號 CLKR〜參考訊號 邊界頻率 P2005-040/0697-A40700-TW/f/ 18 1325231 98, 12.

In this case, the control module 33 will again refer to the lock signal SL to check if the automatic switching PLL is in the locked state. The control module 33 neither generates the band selection signal SB nor generates the voltage setting signal Svs until the lock signal SL is received to indicate that the automatic switching PLL 500 is in the locked state. In the second case, the control voltage VCTRL does not fall within any of the additional reference voltage ranges. In this case, the control module 33 does not check the lock signal SL to immediately generate the frequency band selection P2005-040/0697-A40700-TW/f/ 14 1325231 : 3⁄4 replacement page selection signal Sb and voltage setting signal Svs. In the conventional embodiment, the control module 33 determines which frequency band the multi-band VCO 13 is switched to and the control voltage VCTRL is set to which of the predetermined voltages, regardless of the first and second cases. Fig. 7A is a view showing a reference voltage distribution diagram of another embodiment of the present invention, respectively. The 7B-7C diagram shows the operating band switching mechanism of the multi-band VCO of the 2A-2B diagram when the reference voltage is as shown in FIG. 7A. The difference between the 7A and 4A is only that the voltage range A is divided into two sub-voltage regions A1 and A2 by a third reference voltage Vref3, and similarly, the voltage range C is divided into a fourth reference voltage Vref4. Two secondary voltage regions C1 and C2. This means that the reference voltage generator 31 generates the reference voltages Vref1 to Vref4. The voltage region B between the reference voltages Vref1 and Vref2 is used as the reference voltage region 'and the voltage range A is within the secondary voltage range A2 between the reference voltages Vref3 and Vref1, and the voltage range C is between the reference voltage Vref2 and The secondary voltage C1 between Vref4 is used as an additional voltage range. The comparator 32 then compares the control voltage VCTRL with the first to fourth reference voltages Vref1 to Vref4 to determine which of the voltage regions A1, A2, B, C1, and C2 the control voltage VCTRL falls in, and compares the comparison result through the comparison signal. Sc is transmitted to the control module 33. As shown in FIG. 7B, similar to FIG. 4B, if the control voltage VcTRL falls within the voltage range B, the control module 33 neither generates the band selection signal SB to convert the operating band of the multi-band VCO 13, nor generates a voltage setting. The signal Svs is controlled by the control filter 12 to set the control voltage VcTRL ° P2005-040/0697-A40700-TW/f/ 15 1325231, and similarly, if the control module 33 receives the comparison signal Sc, the control voltage VcTRL is at the voltage. In the range of A and C, the control panel group 33 generates a band selection signal SB to switch the multi-band VCO 13 to the next higher and lower lower frequency bands, respectively, and outputs a voltage setting signal Svs to control the filter 12. The control voltage VCTRL is pulled high to the first predetermined voltage and pulled low to the second predetermined voltage. In one embodiment, the first and second predetermined voltages are the first and second reference voltages Vref1 and Vref2, respectively. However, the difference between the 7B and 4B is that if the control voltage VCTRL is within the voltage range A2 of the voltage range A and the voltage C1 of the voltage range C, respectively, the control module 33 does not receive the lock signal SL. The band selection signal Sb and the voltage setting signal Svs are generated only when the automatic switching PLL is in the locked state. More specifically, if the control module 33 receives the comparison signal Sc indicating that the control voltage Vctrl is not connected to the power A1 and C2, the control phase: the group 33 generates the band selection signal SB to respectively respectively multi-band VCO 13 Switching to the next higher and lower lower frequency band, and outputting the voltage setting signal Svs to control the filter 12 to pull the control voltage VcTRL respectively and pull it low. However, if the control module 33 receives the comparison signal Sc indicating that the control voltage VCTRL falls within the voltage ranges A2 and C1, the control module 33 further checks the lock signal SL to detect whether the automatic switching PLL 500 has been locked. If the lock signal SL indicates that the automatic switching PLL 500 is currently in the locked state, the control module 33 also generates the band selection signal SB to switch the multi-band VCO to the next higher and lower lower frequency bands, respectively, and output voltage.

The replacement page is pulled high and pulled low; otherwise, the control module 33 is up to The band selection signal SB and the voltage setting signal Svs are generated only when the lock signal SL is instructed to automatically switch the PLL 500 to the locked state. Similarly, the difference between the 7C and 4C is that if the control voltage VCTRL is within the voltage range A2 of the voltage range A and the voltage C1 of the voltage range C, the control module 33 does not receive the lock signal SL indication. The band selection signal SB and the voltage setting signal Svs are generated only when the automatic switching PLL is in the locked state. The difference between the 7C and 7B is only that if the control voltage VCTRL falls into the area A, the control module 33 generates the band selection signal SB to switch the multi-band VCO to the lower, rather than the south, operating band; If the control voltage VcTRL is in the zone C, the control module 33 generates a frequency to be selected signal SB to switch the multi-band VCO to a higher, rather than lower, operating band. The relevant details are quite similar to those described in Figure 7B and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.
