 Numerically-controlled oscillator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Note: the term "digitally controlled oscillator" has also been used to describe the combination of a voltage-controlled oscillator driven by a control signal from a digital-to-analog converter.
A DCO generally consists of a digital waveform generator that increments a phase counter by a per-sample increment.
Alternatively, the digital waveform may be used directly as an input for further digital signal processing.

 Phase-locked loop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since the local oscillator would rapidly drift in frequency, an automatic correction signal was applied to the oscillator, maintaining it in the same phase and frequency as the desired signal.
A phase-locked loop operates in similar fashion, automatically raising or lowering the frequency of a controlled oscillator until it is matched to the reference frequency.
Bang-bang control systems are simple, but are associated with significant minimum peak-to-peak jitter, because once in lock the phase offset hunts between the two extrema values of the dead band.

 Patent 4095603: Cardiac pacer employing discrete frequency changes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Reliably distinct frequencies are obtained by digitally dividing, by two different integer factors, a stable high frequency pulse signal generated by a mechanically controlled oscillator, for example a piezoelectric crystal controlled oscillator.
A crystal controlled oscillator provides, unlike a typical RC oscillator, a frequency output which is substantially independent of either environmental conditions or battery output voltage.
If the control signal 34 changes state, due to a failure or change of condition of the component being monitored, then gate 90 is enabled and the next output of frequency divider 88 passes through gate 90 and initiates one shot 92 over line 94.

All this means is that when you play a note on the keyboard, the oscillator will generate the waveform (or shape) at that intended pitch continuously (for as long as you hold down that note on the keyboard).

 Beyond Basic Sound Synthesis - Part 2
The fundamental sound was created by an oscillator, with its speed of oscillation (and therefore the pitch) controlled by the voltage output from a keyboard or similar controller-hence the term Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO).
There were no longer oscillators producing square, sawtooth and sine waves, instead, the basic element of sound creation came from the sine wave alone, up to six sine waves at one time being modulated against one another, and/or placed in parallel.
This is called D/A (or digital to analogue) conversion; in principle it is the same technique as that employed in producing analogue signals from a digital compact disc.

 Digitally Controlled Sine-Wave Generator - Maxim/Dallas
It includes an 8th-order elliptic, switched-capacitor lowpass filter (IC3) that is clocked with a 100kHz square wave generated by microcontroller IC2.
The 8th-order elliptic filter's sharp rolloff sharply reduces the harmonic amplitudes in a 1kHz square-wave input, thereby producing a near-perfect 1kHz sine wave at its output.
Using divider-chain logic or a processor, you can then create a digitally adjustable sine-wave source by adjusting the clock and input frequencies while maintaining a ratio of 100:1 between them.

The foundation of these modules is a highly-integrated chip containing the transmitter, receiver, low-noise amplifier (LNA), voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), digitally-controlled crystal oscillator (DCXO), and synthesizer block.
As a result, the area needed on the printed circuit board is roughly five times smaller, design is simplified, RF tuning is easier, fewer parts need to be stocked, manufacturing yields are higher, and assembly is faster.
Reduced board area also allows phone manufacturers to add additional functions such as FM radio, digital TV, Bluetooth, WiFi, image sensors, and multimedia application processors without increasing the size or weight of the phone.
