In one example, an oscillator assembly may include a silicon-based oscillator having a variable capacitor circuit. The silicon-based oscillator may provide an output signal at a frequency within a range of frequencies. The oscillator assembly may also include control circuitry electrically coupled to the silicon-based oscillator. Moreover, the control circuitry may include a temperature input that receives a temperature corresponding to the silicon-based oscillator. The control circuitry may also include a control signal output electrically coupled to the silicon-based oscillator. The control signal output may be used to change a capacitance of the variable capacitor circuit based on the temperature received by the temperature input to maintain the output signal of the silicon-based oscillator within the range of frequencies.

  • Patent number: 7372302
    Abstract: A driver block for a differential pin driver that supports out-of-band signaling. The driver block includes a main enable switch that is controlled by a high speed driver inhibit (DINH) signal. The main enable switch controls coupling between a main current source and a differential pin driver output stage. The main enable switch is coupled in series with an output select switch that selects between a positive output and a negative output. The driver block also includes a positive enable switch for controlling coupling between the positive output and a positive level shifter that shifts voltages of the positive output. The driver block also includes a negative enable switch for controlling coupling between the negative output and a negative level shifter that shifts voltages of the negative output.
