Abstract
A power saving improvement in an injection locked oscillator (ILO) used is described. The ILO circuitry comprises a feedback path to provide a finecal (M-bit fine calibration signal). The feedback path need not be active at all times; only when an event occurs that requires the feedback path to update the value of the finecal signal. A monitor is provided to sense the occurrence of such event which may be, for examples, an end of a time period or a predetermined change in temperature. When the event occurs, the feedback path is activated to update the value of the finecal signal.
