I find that perhaps it's effect is like open loop5 J4 n: y: S+ Y; G3 k/ R. J
modulation. I mean that the average vco input voltage is fixed by another negative feed back loop9 S9 a& Y1 c( J
but add some small ac voltage into the vco input node to get like Frequency modulation ; N- a7 I& X! Y/ z7 i(spread spectrum effect) the above is my concept ( _2 T: H& Q; L" x+ {3 G
just provide you to think about it
