reference. This architecture has several advantages
over the common PLL (Phase Locked Loop) systems,
including the ability to stop and re-start without
frequency transients or instability, and with instant
settling to a correct frequency. The conventional PLL
approach invariably includes a Low-Pass Filter that
requires a long settling time on re-start.

is changing. As the temperature drift of the HF oscillator
is quite small, any corrective action from the FLL system
is also small and gradual, commensurate with the
temperature variation.

resulting output frequency is calculated using simple
formulas [1] and [2] (reference frequency is 32.768 kHz):
For example, a post-divider setting of
Frequency Set value of 4000 (0x0FA0) produce an
output frequency of 1.024 MHz.

can be applied in the prototype stage to fix problems

radiofrequency shielding, and permits the use of simple
