Abstract
A frequency measurement circuit includes a counter circuit to receive a first digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) clock signal corresponding to a first DCO input codeword and a measurement signal. The counter circuit is responsive to the measurement signal to generate a count representing a measured frequency of the first DCO clock signal. A control circuit is configured to selectively adjust a parameter of the measurement signal for generating a second count of a second DCO clock signal corresponding to a second DCO codeword. The control circuit selectively adjusts the parameter based on a received control signal.
