The invention is directed to a phase locked loop. The phase locked loop
comprises a variable frequency divider for performing a fraction
frequency division by switching a dividing value having an integer
portion and a fraction portion; a memory for storing the fraction
portion; and a data converter for adding the integer portion to the
fraction portion from the memory based on a clock signal from the
variable frequency divider to determine the dividing value to be supplied
to the variable frequency divider.
