ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus to bias a charge pump in a phase locked loop (PLL) to compensate a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) gain have been disclosed. One embodiment of the apparatus includes a PLL comprising a charge pump, the charge pump comprising an input and an output, and a bias circuit coupled to the input of the charge pump, the bias circuit comprising a sensor circuit to sense a temperature and at least one of a voltage and a process variation and a current reference circuit coupled to the sensor circuit.
