Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A transceiver comprising:
a voltage-controlled oscillator comprising a first core and a second core; and
switching circuitry coupled to the first core, the second core, a first supply voltage, and a second supply voltage, the switching circuitry configured to
couple the first core and the second core to the first supply voltage when the voltage-controlled oscillator is operating in a first mode or in a second mode, the first mode associated with a first voltage of the first core being out-of-phase with a second voltage of the second core, and the second mode associated with the first voltage being in-phase with the second voltage, or the first mode associated with the first voltage being in-phase with the second voltage, and the second mode associated with the first voltage being out-of-phase with the second voltage, and
couple the first core and the second core to the second supply voltage when the voltage-controlled oscillator transitions from operating in the first mode to operating in the second mode.
