Abstract
An integrated clock generator includes a tunable LC oscillator, a tunable frequency synthesizer, and a processor. The tunable LC oscillator has an input for receiving an oscillator control signal, and an output for providing an oscillator clock signal. The tunable frequency synthesizer has a clock input coupled to the output of the tunable LC oscillator, a control input for receiving a synthesizer control signal, and an output for providing a clock output signal. The processor has an input for receiving a data input signal, a first output for providing the oscillator control signal, and a second output for providing the synthesizer control signal. The processor provides the oscillator control signal and the synthesizer control signal such that the tunable frequency synthesizer generates the output clock signal at a frequency indicated by the data input signal, and provides the synthesizer control signal further in response to a dynamic condition.
