ABSTRACT:
A monolithically integrable amplitude-controllable oscillator amplifier circuit includes a differential amplifier. The bases of first, second and third transistors are acted upon by a direct voltage. A first capacitor connects the base of the second transistor to a reference potential. A frequency-determining circuit element is connected to the base of a first transistor, the collector of the second transistor and the oscillator amplifier. The collector of the first transistor is connected directly to the emitter of the third transistor forming a cascode circuit. The collector of the third transistor is connected to a first potential. The collector of the second transistor forms an amplifier output. A first resistor is connected between the collector of the second transistor and a second potential. A first current source is connected between interconnected emitters of the first and the second transistors and the reference potential and it is formed of a series circuit of a second current source, a circuit node and a first constant current source. A circuit controls amplitude based on a signal of the amplifier output and includes a control element having a voltage-controlled current source with a control voltage input, a current input and a current output. A controller feeds a control variable to the control voltage input, the current input is connected to a third potential, and the current output is connected to the first circuit node.
