The present description concerns a digital injection-locked oscillator (2). An adder (100) adds first and second digital words (OP2, OP1) and outputs a third result digital word (RES), the words being over N bits, with N an integer greater than 1. A register (102) updates the second word based on the third word (RES) at each period of a clock signal (clk). A first circuit (200) receives a reference signal (REF) at a natural frequency of an output bit (OUT), and a reference increment, inc_ref. The first circuit calculates a first value (valref) selectively equal to the reference increment inc_ref and to minus the reference increment inc_ref as a function at least of one state of the reference signal. The first circuit outputs the first word at least partly by adding the first value and a positive control number, P, the output bit being a bit of the second word.
