A circuit for frequency synthesis in an integrated circuit is described. The circuit comprises an oscillator circuit having a counter-controlled delay line. A delay register is coupled to the counter-controlled delay line. The delay register stores a delay value for the counter-controlled delay line. Finally, a phase synchronizer circuit, coupled to the oscillator circuit, controls the starting and stopping of the oscillator circuit. According to alternate embodiments, a control circuit is coupled to the oscillator circuit for changing the frequency synthesizer from a low frequency mode to a high frequency mode.
