    Abstract: A battery charger includes a battery power regulator configured to set a charge signal provided to a battery based on a charge control signal and charge enable signal. The battery charger also includes a controller configured to provide the charge control signal to the battery power regulator. The controller is also configured to temporarily de-assert the charge enable signal for a predetermined amount of time in response to determining that a change is needed in the charge control signal. The controller is further configured to re-assert the charge enable signal after the predetermined amount of time.

    Abstract: One example includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit. The circuit includes a frequency divider and phase detector configured to generate a plurality of non-overlapping switching signals based on an input signal and a PLL output signal. The circuit also includes a linear frequency-to-current (F2I) converter configured to generate a control current having an amplitude that is based on the plurality of non-overlapping switching signals. The circuit further includes a linear current-controlled oscillator configured to generate the PLL output signal to have a frequency and phase to be approximately equal to the input signal based on the amplitude of the control current.
