    • A frequency synthesizer circuit includes a phase determinator configured to output a phase difference signal based on a phase difference between an output signal and a reference signal. The frequency synthesizer circuit may further include a voltage controlled oscillator configured, during a fine tuning mode, to generate the output signal based on the phase difference signal and a value of a frequency band signal. The voltage controlled oscillator may be further configured, during a coarse tuning mode, to generate the output signal based on a voltage and the value of the frequency band signal. The frequency synthesizer circuit may further include a control unit configured to generate the frequency band signal. The value of the frequency band signal may be static during the fine tuning mode and changing during the coarse tuning mode based on a frequency difference between the reference signal and the output signal.
