Aspects of the present disclosure include a frequency-to-current (F2I) circuit and systems, methods, devices, and other circuits related thereto. The F2I circuit is implemented with a delta-modulator-based control loop to settle and maintain an operating point on a bias node. The control loop provides an integral of an output of a comparator, and the comparator compares it to a self-built voltage reference.

After the circuit has settled, the comparator's output charge toggles and the internal voltage and bias voltage become sawtooth-like waveforms at the reference voltage and operating points, respectively.
