Abstract

See full text

In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a frequency generator having a resistor network and a capacitor network. The capacitor network has a plurality of capacitors connected in parallel with one another. A comparator is configured to output an oscillating voltage signal. An input of the comparator is connected to the output of the resistor network and the output of the capacitor network. A frequency testing circuit is configured to calculate a frequency of the oscillating voltage signal and determine whether the frequency is within a range of an expected frequency. The frequency testing circuit may also be configured to selectively connect a first plate of the plurality of capacitors to a non-varying voltage or to the input of the capacitor network to adjust a frequency of the oscillating voltage signal.
