ABSTRACT:
A fully integrated, adjustable oscillator circuit for use with a crystal is disclosed in which a crystal oscillator, such as a Pierce oscillator, is arranged to utilize a tuning network that includes at least one integrated varactor (voltage-variable-capacitor) as a shunt element for providing at least one type of adjustment of the oscillating signal. More than one type of adjustment can be provided by including a bank of varactors for each of the shunt elements of the tuning network, in which various individual varactors are selected in binary (on-off) fashion to effect digital as well as analog adjustment of the crystal oscillator.
