A dual path PLL provides excellent output phase stability over PVT variations, without implementing a high accuracy TDC. A digital integral path employs a binary phase detector, comparing the reference and feedback signals, and an integrator to generate an oscillator control input to lock the long-term output phase to the reference signal. An analog proportional path employs a linear (e.g., edge triggered) phase detector and a charge pump and filter to generate an oscillator control input to mitigate phase noise in the output signal. The feedback signal to the proportional path is delayed, which has the effect of increasing the width of phase error pulses, and moving the charge pump operating point away from the zero point where it generates both positive and negative currents, which are difficult to match. A second linear phase detector in the proportional path compensates for the increased phase error pulse width by comparing the delayed and non-delayed feedback signals, and generating pulses in the opposite direction.

A circuit and method are described for generating a low jitter output clock having an arbitrary non-integer divide ratio relative to a high-frequency clock. Integer divide ratios of the high-frequency clock may be achieved by dividing the high-frequency clock by the reference clock and phase locking the output clock to the high-frequency clock.
