    摘要: The present description concerns a device (1) comprising: a first oscillator (RO1) and a second oscillator (RO2) identical to the first one; a flip-flop (FF) delivering an output signal (S3) corresponding to a sampling of an output (S1) of the first oscillator (RO1) at a frequency of the second oscillator (RO2); a counter (COUNTER) supplying a value (N) equal to a number of periods of the second oscillator (RO2) counted during each period of the output signal (S3) of the flip-flop (FF); a first circuit (FB CTRL) modifying a period of one of the oscillators (RO1, RO2) based on the values (N) of the counter (COUNTER) so that an average difference between the periods of the oscillators is equal to a target difference; and a second circuit (PROCESS) characterizing an Allan variance on the output (O) of the counter based on said values (N).
