ABSTRACT:
A VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) is provided with a full set of tuning voltages from a reduced number of reference voltage sources, such as potentiometers. Logic controlled switch means delivers any of the reference voltages individually or predetermined combinations thereof as the tuning voltages to the VCO. A reference voltage source potentiometer is provided for each of the odd numbered tuning voltages, and a piecewise linear approximation is provided for the intermediate even numbered tuning voltages by generating the average of two adjacent odd voltages.
