In described examples, a phase locked loop (PLL) includes a compensation circuit, a transconductance circuit, and an oscillator. The compensation circuit includes a capacitor circuit and a resistive element having a resistance responsive to a center frequency of the PLL's bandwidth. The transconductance circuit includes a current source and an error amplifier. The current source generates a current responsive to the center frequency. The error amplifier has a transconductance responsive to the center frequency, and receives a signal responsive to the resistance and a difference between an input clock signal and a feedback signal. The oscillator input is coupled to the error amplifier output. The oscillator provides a signal at its output for generating the feedback signal.

In an example, a dual-phase inverting buck-boost power converter for use with at least first and second energy storage elements includes an inverting buck-boost power converter and an inverting boost converter. In an example, the inverting buck-boost power converter is coupled between an input node and an output node of the dual-phase inverting buck-boost power converter and includes a first plurality of switches operable to couple to the first energy storage element, wherein the inverting buck-boost power converter is operable to supply a first load current. In an example, the inverting boost converter is coupled in parallel with the inverting buck-boost power converter between the input node and the output node of the dual-phase inverting buck-boost power converter and includes a second plurality of switches operable to couple to the first and the second energy storage elements, wherein the inverting boost converter is operable to supply a second load current.
