Abstract
A method of generating an output of a frequency synthesizer is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of generating an output of the frequency synthesizer based upon frequency synthesizer values and a reference clock signal; receiving a command comprising a first new frequency synthesizer value; locking to a new frequency based upon the first new frequency synthesizer value; and simultaneously loading a second new frequency synthesizer value while locking to the new frequency. A circuit for generating an output of a frequency synthesizer is also disclosed.
