ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for analog smooth switch in VCO loading control, in one technique, receiving an input signal to adjust a frequency of an oscillator; activating one or more switches to control a current source/sink based on the received input signal; applying the current source/sink to a capacitor to adjust a voltage on the capacitor; and applying the voltage on the capacitor to one or more switches, each of the one or more switches connected between a load and a stage of the oscillator.
