Abstract
A controller and system for tuning a voltage tunable capacitor is provided. The controller may include at least one analog-to-digital converter configured to receive at least one input signal and convert the at least one input signal into at least one digital signal. The controller may include a processor configured to process the at least one digital signal using logic to generate an output signal. The controller may include a charge pump configured to boost the output signal to generate a boosted output signal. The controller may be configured to provide the boosted output signal to the voltage tunable capacitor to adjust a bias voltage of the voltage tunable capacitor.
