SOLUTION: A frequency phase compactor (PFD) 11 compares a phase and a frequency of an external clock CK1 with those of an internal clock CK2 generated by the PLL itself. A charge pump circuit 12 charges/discharges a low pass filter (LPF) 13 depending on the output of the PED 11. A VCO 15 has a plurality of voltage controlled oscillators whose oscillated frequency bands differs and the oscillated frequency of each voltage controlled oscillator is changed with the output voltage of the LPF 13. The gain of each voltage controlled oscillator is selected low to suppress the effect of jitter much and two kinds or over of frequency bands to be used are provided. Furthermore, a counter 16 to count a frequency of the external clock CK1 is provided, its count value is inputted to a selector 17 and any one of the voltage controlled oscillators of the VCO 15 is selected based on the count value. Thus, the PLL circuit causing less jitter is obtained.

FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b) show conventional PLs, respectively.
FIG. 11 is an fv characteristic diagram showing the influence of jitter on gain in the VCO 14 of the L circuit. The changing rate (fv characteristic) of the oscillation frequency Δf 1 of the VCO 14 when the input voltage ΔV 1 is changed depends on the magnitude of the gain. That is, if the VCO 14 has a large gain as shown in FIG.
