Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and apparatus for generating oscillating signals. For example, certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a phase-locked loop (PLL) having a first switch coupled to a sampling input node of the PLL, an integrator coupled to an output of the sampling circuit, and a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) having an input coupled to an output of the integrator. In certain aspects, the PLL may also include a feedback path coupled to an output of the VCO and a control input of the first switch.
