A first receiver frequency reference is passively coupled to a second receiver by tapping a signal directly from the resonant element, such as a crystal, of an oscillator in the first receiver to drive the input of the second receiver. The sinusoidal signal from the resonant element is relatively free of harmonics and minimizes interference that could be caused by harmonics of a square wave signal coupling or an amplified signal. The oscillator of each receiver can be selectively enabled or disabled to allow the receiver to either generate or receive the frequency reference. This technique of coupling can be used to couple a frequency reference signal between integrated circuit receivers.
