1. A method, comprising:
setting a bias signal source to a first bias value, the bias signal source being connected to an input of a voltage-controlled oscillator of a clock and data recovery circuit;
determining that a locked signal of a frequency feedback signal source equals or exceeds a first feedback value;
determining that the first feedback value does not meet a termination criterion;
setting the bias signal source to a second bias value, different from the first bias value;
determining that the locked signal of the frequency feedback signal source equals or exceeds a second feedback value;
determining that the second feedback value meets the termination criterion; and
based on determining that the second feedback value meets the termination criterion, setting an operating value of the bias signal source to the second bias value for the voltage-controlled oscillator of the clock and data recovery circuit.
