ABSTRACT:
In a multiple reference frequency generator, instead of using a quartz crystal for each of the accurate frequencies to be produced, a single quartz crystal is used together with a current controlled oscillator (ICO) and a phase loop comprising a phase comparator (PHC) and a control current generator (GC). The current generator provides a current varying as a function of a voltage and inversely proportional to a resistor value. In a first step, the phase loop causes the oscillator to oscillate at a frequency F0 and the resistor has a value R0. In a second phase, the loop is opened and the resistor is given a value R1 causing the oscillator to oscillate at a frequency F1=F0.times.R0/R1.
