Abstract

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a capacitor array that may provide a selected capacitance to a digitally controlled crystal oscillator (DCXO). The array may include multiple sections each having at least one array portion, where each section is to receive different significant portions of a digital control value. The different sections may have different coding schemes. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
