Abstract
An oscillator system may include an oscillator block having a plurality of inputs and outputting a clock signal, a frequency divider block receiving the clock signal and outputting a divided clock signal, a tuning block receiving the divided clock signal and outputting a comparison signal, and a control block coupled to the tuning block. The control block may receive the comparison signal. The control block may include a configuration block for producing a plurality of outputs for the corresponding inputs of the oscillator block, and an Up/Down counter having outputs applied to the configuration block.
