Abstract
Aspects of various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to applications utilizing oscillator circuits. In certain embodiments, an apparatus includes an oscillator circuit having one or more capacitors. The oscillator circuit is configured to generate an oscillating signal by repeated charging and discharging of the capacitors. The apparatus also includes a control circuit connected to the oscillator. The control circuit is configured to set the oscillation frequency of the oscillator circuit as a non-linear function of an input control signal. For instance, in a more specific embodiment, the control circuit may be configured to set oscillation frequency of the oscillator circuit to a frequency scaled by a value raised to an exponent specified by the input control signal.
