ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit relaxation oscillator includes a capacitor, a resistor forming a conductive path for charging the capacitor, a transistor for discharging the capacitor, and a control circuit responsive to the level of charge on the capacitor for controlling the conduction level of the transistor. The control circuit has a relatively high trip point while it is in one state and during the time that the capacitor is being charged, and a relatively low trip point while it is in a second state and during the time that the capacitor is being discharged. The control circuit is balanced, such that variations in process parameters and variations in the voltage level of the power supply do not appreciably affect the period of the oscillatory output signal.
