A divider-less phase locked loop (PLL) includes a phase frequency detector (PFD), a charge pump (CP), a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a delay unit, and a clock gating unit. The PFD is electrically connected to the VCO through the CP, and the CP outputs a voltage control signal to the VCO. The VCO generates an output signal. The delay unit receives and delays a reference signal to generate a delay signal. The clock gating unit samples the output signal according to the delay signal. Since the clock gating unit samples the output signal according to the delay signal, the divider-less PLL does not need to include a divider to divide a frequency of the output signal. Therefore, power consumption of the divider-less PLL can be reduced.
