Abstract
The described technology provides a device including a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit, the PLL circuit including a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and a phase detector, and a voltage supply and transconductance cell (Gm) configured to drain a current Iout from the VCO based on a sensed voltage (Vsup_sense) input into the Gm, wherein the Gm cell is configured to generate an open_loop signal based on the Iout drain from the VCO.
