Summary:
A Switched Injection-Locked Oscillator (SILO) is one which exploits parameter and topology switching to facilitate one or more of the following features: (i) fast startup and quenching of an oscillation at a well-defined frequency and (ii) frequency division by a programmable integer. This paper describes an example LC oscillator circuit and associated switching and injectionlocking mechanisms which accomplish these results.
