<p>An oscillator for an integrated circuit which includes a Schmitt trigger having an upper threshold voltage VH and a lower threshold voltage VL, a capacitor coupled between an input to the trigger and ground, a current generator coupled to the trigger input for charging the capacitor at a constant rate and a current generator coupled to the trigger input for discharging the capacitor at a constant rate. A charge switch in series with the charging current generator reversibly couples the charging current generator between a source of high voltage and the trigger input in response to a change in state of the trigger from a first state to a second state. A discharge switch in series with the discharging current generator reversibly couples the latter across the capacitor in response to a change in state of the trigger from the second state to the first state.</p> |
