Crystal Oscillator
Crystal oscillator (X100) employs a 19.2 MHz Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO),
and its reference frequency is calibrated by the digital-to-analog converter IC (U500) for accuracy.
PLL IC
The PLL IC (U100) is a fractional frequency divider IC. The logic switch ICs (U101 and U102) work with
the PLL IC (U100) to achieve locking.

The 19.2 MHz frequency generated by the crystal oscillator (X100) goes into the PLL IC (U100) for
frequency division, generating the reference frequency. Meanwhile, the frequency generated by VCO
goes into PLL IC (U100) for frequency division. The resulting frequency will be compared with reference
frequency in terms of phase difference in the phase detector. After comparison, the resulting frequency
is converted to CV voltage via the loop filter, to control and lock the frequency.
