Abstract: In one aspect, a VCO is provided. The VCO includes an inductor, a voltage-controlled capacitive element configured to operate with the inductor to generate an oscillating signal, a voltage supply configured to provide a plurality of voltages to the voltage-controlled capacitive element in a calibration mode, and a control circuit configured to store frequency information indicating frequencies of the oscillating signal in response to the plurality of voltages being provided to the voltage-controlled capacitive element. In another aspect, a PLL is provided. The PLL includes means for selecting, in an open loop configuration, a capacitance of a capacitor based on a target frequency and means for selecting, in a closed loop configuration, an operation voltage of a voltage-controlled capacitive element based on the capacitance of the capacitor.
