Abstract
The present invention provides a clock source for an integrated circuit, comprising a primary oscillator adapted to generate a primary clock signal based on a reference control signal, at least one secondary oscillator each secondary oscillator being adapted to generate a secondary clock signal based on the reference control signal, wherein for each secondary oscillator a frequency correction unit is provided and adapted to adjust the reference control signal for the associated secondary oscillator based on the primary clock signal and the secondary clock signal of the associated secondary oscillator such that the clock frequency of the secondary clock signal of the associated secondary oscillator essentially equals the clock frequency of the primary clock signal. The present invention furthermore provides a method for providing a clock signal, and an integrated circuit.
