Abstract
A variable frequency oscillator includes a RAM which stores a frequency setting data and provides a frequency control data, a VCO circuit which provides an oscillation output having a frequency which is defined by the contents of the frequency control data, a reference oscillator which provides a reference signal having a given frequency and phase, a phase comparator which detects the phase difference between the reference signal and a comparison signal corresponding to the oscillation output, and a logic circuit which combines the frequency control data with a phase data and provides the frequency setting data. The phase comparator provides the phase data whose contents indicate +1 if the phase of the comparison signal is delayed from the phase of the reference signal, indicate -1 if the phase of the comparison signal is advanced to the phase of the reference signal, and indicate 0 if the phase of the comparison signal matches with the phase of the reference signal.
