Abstract
A circuit comprising an oscillator, a reference path, and a feedback path. The oscillator may have a reference input receiving a reference signal, a feedback input receiving a feedback signal, and an output. The reference path may provide the reference signal from a reference clock input. The feedback path may provide the feedback signal from the oscillator loop output. At least one of the reference path and the feedback path comprises a programmable delay circuit.
