If the control of ADPLL is according to the counter, low frequency means a bad jitter. Is that true?

Did you mean low comparison frequency? If the frequency control is digital there is no difference to a time discrete value continiuous control. The problems are in the detail:

1. Digital control with high resolution is often nonmonotonic or has to use multiple segments.

2. Phase resolution requires to count at very high frequencies. In a analog PLL you get some ps resolution (noise limit)

Try to calculate the noise performance of your complete digital ADPLL. Then you know how many bits you need there.

what's the multiple segments?Do you mean that ADPLL is not suitable for low time jitter PLL design?
