The present invention achieves technical advantages as a high performance
analog charge pumped phase locked loop (PLL)(10) with process and
temperature compensation in closed loop bandwidth. The PLL reduces the
variation in bandwidth and stability by making the product
K.sub.VCO*I.sub.CP independent of process and temperature variation. The
PLL achieves a higher performance than existing PLL architectures,
achieving a high dynamic range up to at least 110 dB, such that a PWM
class-D amplifier is realizable with this PLL. The PLL has a constant
bandwidth and damping factor while using an analog charge pump (16).
