Programmable leakage current offset for phase locked loop

摘要

A method and apparatus for post-fabrication adjustment of a phase locked loop leakage current is provided. The adjustment system includes an adjustment circuit that adjusts a leakage current offset circuit to compensate for the leakage current of a capacitor in the phase locked loop. The capacitor connects to a control voltage of the phase locked loop. Such control of the leakage current in the phase locked loop allows a designer to achieve a desired phase locked loop operating characteristic after the phase locked loop has been fabricated.
