LOOP FILTER AND PHASE LOCKED LOOP INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

Provided is a loop filter which receives first and second currents whose current ratio is n (where n is a natural number). The loop filter includes a first-order filter path, a second-order filter path, and a third-order filter path. The first-order filter path includes an operational amplifier generating an output impedance by increasing by as much as n times an impedance of a second input node to which the second current is applied. The first-order filter path performs a first-order filtering on the first current applied to a first input node by using the operational amplifier. The second-order filter path performs a second-order filtering on the first current applied to the first input node. The third-order filter path performs a third-order filtering on the first current applied to the first input node.
