Abstract:
Methods and systems are described for generating, using a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), a plurality of phases of a local clock signal, generating a phase-error signal using a phase comparator receive a phase of the local clock signal and a reference clock signal, and configured to output the phase-error signal, generating a frequency-lock assist (FLA) signal using a FLA circuit receiving one or more phases of the local clock signal and the reference clock signal, the FLA signal indicative of a magnitude of a frequency error between the reference clock signal and the local clock signal, and generating a VCO control signal using an error accumulator circuit receiving the phase-error signal and the FLA signal, and responsively providing the VCO control signal to the VCO to lock the local clock signal to the reference clock signal.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first-order input is a capacitive input of an RC filter in the error accumulation circuit.
