Claim 8:
9. The integrated circuit of claim 8, further comprising:
a voltage divider having:
an input coupled to the output of the charge pump and configured to receive the output voltage of the charge pump; and
an output configured to provide a divided voltage from the output voltage;

a comparator having:
a first input coupled to the output of the voltage divider and configured to receive the divided voltage;
a second input configured to receive a reference voltage; and
an output configured to output a comparison signal; and

a logic gate having:
a first input configured to receive the oscillating signal;
a second input configured to an output of the comparator; and
an output configured to provide or not provide the oscillating signal to the phase generator based on the value of the comparison signal.
