    Abstract: In various embodiments, the invention provides a clock generator and/or a timing and frequency reference comprising an LC oscillator with a frequency controller to control and provide a stable resonant frequency. Such stability is provided over variations in a selected parameter such as temperature and fabrication process variations. The various apparatus embodiments include a sensor to provide a signal in response to at least one parameter of a plurality of parameters; and a frequency controller to modify the resonant frequency in response to the second signal. In exemplary embodiments, the sensor is implemented as a current source responsive to temperature fluctuations, and the frequency controller is implemented as a plurality of controlled reactance modules which are selectively couplable to the oscillator or to one or more control voltages. The controlled reactance modules may include fixed or variable capacitances or inductances, and may be binary weighted. Arrays of resistive modules are also provided, to generate one or more control voltages.

    Abstract: Tuning a radio oscillator frequency to a reference frequency is disclosed. A radio oscillator is set using a predetermined value loaded into an adjustment bit array. A highest selected bit is selected to be used in locating a final tuned value for the adjustment bit array. The final tuned value is determined by successively setting a selected bit starting with the highest selected bit in the adjustment bit array. And, the selected bit value in the final tuned value is determined using a measurement of the radio oscillator frequency and its relation to a reference frequency.
