Abstract
A circuit generates a clock signal with a tunable clock period. The circuit comprises capacitors, first tuning circuitry and second tuning circuitry. The first tuning circuitry is configured to adjust the clock period with a first period tuning step based on a first parameter and the second tuning circuit is configured to adjust the clock period with a second period tuning step based on a second parameter. The first period tuning step is different than the second period tuning step.
