ABSTRACT:
Relaxation oscillator comprising a chain of coupled sawtooth generator stages. Each stage has a capacitor which is charged and discharged. The charging of a capacitor begins when the voltage (C.sub.C1) of a previous stage reaches a threshold voltage (V.sub.H). To avoid sampling of noise on the threshold voltage (V.sub.H) each new voltage ramp is started gradually.
