1. A device comprising:
a first circuit configured to be coupled to an inductor, the first circuit including a second circuit configured to be tuned;
a third circuit coupled to the second circuit, the third circuit configured to tune the second circuit;
a fourth circuit coupled to the first circuit;
a fifth circuit coupled to the fourth circuit, the fifth circuit configured to output to the fourth circuit a gain adjust signal responsive to an average current of the inductor; and
a sixth circuit coupled to the fourth circuit, the sixth circuit configured to control current in the inductor based on the gain adjust signal.
