Techniques for adjusting gears of an oscillator
A phase-locked loop circuit includes an oscillator circuit that generates a clock signal. The oscillator circuit has gears. Each of the gears of the oscillator circuit corresponds to a respective frequency range of the clock signal. A gear control circuit includes a regulator circuit that provides a supply voltage to the oscillator circuit. Each of the gears of the oscillator circuit corresponds to a different supply voltage provided by the regulator circuit. The regulator circuit varies the supply voltage to change a selected one of the gears of the oscillator circuit. The gear control circuit varies the supply voltage for one of the gears of the oscillator circuit to adjust a frequency range of that gear of the oscillator circuit.
