ABSTRACT:
An oscillator comprising a first and a second transistor having their sources interconnected via a capacitor and in which each gate is connected to the drain of the other transistor and each drain is connected to a load circuit. A load circuit in the form of a resistor produces a non-linear transfer characteristic. By arranging each load circuit in the form of a parallel combination of two transistors of which a first gate is connected to the drain of the first transistor and of which a second gate is connected to the drain of the second transistor, an oscillator presenting a more linear transfer characteristic is obtained. With different frequency adjusting circuits this transfer characteristic can be realized in a first-order approximation or can even be totally independent of the threshold voltage of the transistors used.
