1. A method for processing signals, the method comprising:
generating an oscillating signal via one or more circuits comprising a feedback loop; and
controlling said generation by enabling or disabling said feedback loop utilizing a digital-to-analog converter, based on a comparison of said generated oscillating signal and an input signal, wherein said digital-to-analog converter is triggered by said input signal and an output of said digital-to-analog converter adjusts said oscillating signal when said feedback loop is enabled, and an output of said digital-to-analog converter remains constant when said feedback loop is disabled.
