An integrated, crystalless oscillator includes a voltage controlled oscillator circuit for generating an output signal, and a frequency-locked feedback network to stabilize the frequency of the output signal. The frequency-locked feedback network includes a divide-down circuit and a frequency-controlled variable resistor, the divide-down circuit divides down the frequency of the output signal to produce a feedback frequency which is used to control the frequency-controlled variable resistor. The control voltage for the voltage controlled oscillator circuit is derived from the voltages across a fixed resistor and the frequency-controlled variable resistor. The voltages across these resistors drive an amplifier, with the output of the amplifier being the control voltage for the voltage controlled oscillator circuit. |
