Abstract
According to one or more embodiments, a method implemented by a digital phase-locked loop of a processor is provided. The method includes turning off, by the digital phase-locked loop, a percentage of active devices of a digitally controlled oscillator to implement a fast path within the digital phase-locked loop. The method also includes reducing, by the digital phase-locked loop, a multiplier of a frequency filter setting to implement a control path within the digital phase-locked loop.
