ABSTRACT:
A phase-lock loop (FIG. 1) is initialized at power-up by an oscillator (14) control signal (28) that has previously been stored by a processor (20) in a non-volatile memory (27). The stored control signal is generated by the phase-lock loop's controller (12) in response to receipt of a calibrated reference input signal, as part of manufacturing of the phase-lock loop and occasionally thereafter during normal operation. Being stored in non-volatile memory, the control signal is not lost upon removal of power from the phase-lock loop. The stored control signal is then used to control the oscillator instead of the controller's output upon power-up and until the later one of (a) receipt by the phase-lock loop of a valid reference signal and (b) receipt of a directive for the controller to take over control of the oscillator.
