Abstract

Example embodiments are directed toward configuration of a phase lock loop (PLL) circuits for low power operation. In particular embodiments, a fraction related to a desired gain of a PLL circuit is determined. A set of possible frequency-divider values and a set of possible feedback divider values are determined. A PLL configuration is selected from a combination of the sets of frequency divider and feedback divider values that forms a ratio indicated the determined fraction.
