Abstract: An apparatus includes a voltage regulator operable to regulate a supply voltage to an on-chip module having an operational current, draw a supply current, and supply the operation current to the on-chip module. The supply current drawn by the voltage regulator is proportional to the operating current of the on-chip module.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for frequency and phase correction in a phase-locked loop (PLL) includes a phase frequency detector, first and second charge pumps respectively generating a first current and a voltage, a voltage-to-current (V2I) converter, a current summer, and a current-controlled oscillator (CCO). The phase frequency detector detects a frequency difference and a phase difference between a clock signal and a comparison signal, communicates the frequency difference to a first charge pump generating a first current, and communicates the phase difference to a second charge pump generating a voltage. The comparison signal is derived from an output signal of the PLL. The first charge pump modifies the first current according to the frequency difference and communicates the first current to the current summer. The second charge pump modifies the voltage according to the phase difference and communicates the voltage to the V2I converter.
