An integrated circuit including a functional circuit, a tuning circuit, and a control circuit is provided. The functional and control circuits generate an output signal and a digital code, respectively. The tuning circuit tunes the functional circuit based on the digital code to control an attribute of the output signal. The digital code is iteratively adjusted such that the attribute of the output signal is maintained within a predefined range. When the digital code corresponds to a cliff value, the digital code for a subsequent iteration is adjusted by a non-unit offset value such that a difference between the attribute for the cliff value and for the subsequent digital code is within a tolerance limit. The digital code is indicative of coarse and fine parameters, and for each value of the coarse parameter, the cliff value corresponds to the lowest or highest value of the fine parameter.
