Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
supplying, via switching circuitry of a voltage-controlled oscillator comprising a first core and a second core, a first supply voltage to the voltage-controlled oscillator to operate the voltage-controlled oscillator in a first mode;
supplying, via the switching circuitry, a second supply voltage to the voltage-controlled oscillator to transition the voltage-controlled oscillator from the first mode to a second mode, the first mode associated with a first voltage of the first core being in-phase with a second voltage of the second core and the second mode associated with the first voltage being out-of-phase with the second voltage, or the first mode associated with the first voltage being out-of-phase with the second voltage and the second mode associated with the first voltage being in-phase with the second voltage; and
supplying, via the switching circuitry, the first supply voltage to the voltage-controlled oscillator to operate the voltage-controlled oscillator in the second mode.
