Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An integrated oscillator circuit comprises an oscillator configured to be switched between a first frequency and a second frequency. A switching circuit receives an input representing a target frequency and switches the oscillator between the first and second frequencies at intervals determined by the input, so as to cause the average output frequency of the oscillator to approximate the target frequency.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An integrated oscillator circuit comprising: an oscillator configured to be switched between a first frequency and a second frequency; switching circuitry configured to receive an input representative of a target frequency and to switch the oscillator between the first and second frequencies at intervals determined by the input so as to cause the average output frequency of the oscillator to approximate the target frequency; and circuitry for calib…
