Abstract

The invention relates to a frequency generator assembly, including at least one oscillator and an electronic signal processing device, which is designed in such a way that the electronic signal processing device provides an electric clock signal (f) having a defined frequency as an output signal of the frequency generator assembly, wherein the defined frequency depends on the vibration frequency of the oscillator, wherein the oscillator includes at least one micromechanical seismic mass which is vibrationally excited by at least one driving device, whereupon the electronic signal processing device generates and provides the electric clock signal (f) according to the vibration frequency of the at least one seismic mass.
