    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for glitch-free bandwidth switching in a phase-locked loop (PLL). One example PLL generally includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) comprising a first variable capacitive element and a second variable capacitive element and a bandwidth adjustment circuit comprising a first switch in parallel with a resistor of a resistor-capacitor (RC) network. The bandwidth adjustment circuit is configured to open the first switch for a first bandwidth mode, close the first switch in a transition from the first bandwidth mode to a second bandwidth mode, and control a capacitance of the second variable capacitive element based on a voltage of a node of the RC network.
