Abstract
A system and method of operating a phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer is disclosed herein. The disclosed method includes defining a first set of operating parameters applicable to operation of a phase-locked loop of the synthesizer in a first mode and defining a second set of operating parameters applicable to operation of the phase-locked loop in a second mode. A first detection signal is generated so as to initiate transition of the phase-locked loop into the second mode. The method further includes configuring, at least in part in response to the first detection signal, the phase-locked loop to operate in accordance with the second set of operating parameters.
