    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a relatively compact frequency-locked loop (FLL) using a discrete-time integrator. For certain aspects, the FLL also includes a supplemental oscillator and other circuitry that allows for saving the FLL frequency when a reference clock will be disconnected, maintaining a similar frequency during disconnection, and restoring the FLL frequency when the reference clock is reconnected. One example FLL circuit generally includes: an encoder; a combiner comprising a first input coupled to an output of the encoder; a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) comprising an input coupled to an output of the combiner; a discrete-time integrator comprising an input coupled to an output of the DAC; a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) comprising a control input coupled to an output of the discrete-time integrator; and a counter comprising an input coupled to an output of the VCO and comprising an output coupled to a second input of the combiner.

    Abstract: A switched capacitor circuit includes a first capacitor coupled in series with a second capacitor in a first mode of operation across differential output terminals of a circuit. The first capacitor and the second capacitor are coupled in an anti-parallel layout in a second mode of operation. The switched capacitor circuit also includes a third capacitor coupled on a first side to a common node of the first capacitor and the second capacitor. The third capacitor is further coupled on a second side to a current source control voltage in the first mode of operation, and coupled between a bias reference voltage and a common mode reference voltage in the second mode of operation.
