Frequency modification circuitry may be employed as part of a crystal oscillator
circuit to generate a reference signal with adjustable frequency. The frequency
modification circuitry may be implemented as part of a crystal oscillator circuit
that includes digitally controlled crystal oscillator ("DCXO") circuitry and a
crystal. The frequency modification circuitry may adjust the frequency of the reference
signal in response to one or more frequency control signals. In one example, the
frequency modification circuitry may include variable capacitors such as one or
more continuously variable and/or discretely variable capacitors for providing
coarse and/or fine adjustment of the reference signal frequency.
