Programmable oscillator circuit and method
TLDR
In this paper, a programmable crystal oscillator is provided having a memory for storing frequency-defining parameters, which can be used to program an adjustable capacitive load circuit coupled to a crystal to adjust the crystal source frequency.Abstract:
A programmable crystal oscillator is provided having a memory for storing frequency-defining parameters. Typically, one of these parameters is used to program an adjustable capacitive load circuit coupled to a crystal to thereby adjust the crystal source frequency. Additional parameters are used to program the output frequency of a phase locked loop circuit coupled to receive the adjusted source frequency. A further parameter can also be used to divide the output frequency of the phase locked loop circuit to supply a specified output frequency. The oscillators can be manufactured as generic programmable crystal oscillators without regard for output frequency and then quickly programmed to produce customer-specified output frequencies with a high degree of accuracy.read more
