<p>A novel negative resistance oscillator is disclosed for partial integration. The oscillator has a tank circuit and a load, which are non-integrated, and active circuitry, which is integrated. The active circuit consists of a current "source" and two current "sinks", arranged to provide a negative resistance. The oscillator, which is designed to drive an erase head in a tape recorder, as a part of a tape recorder integrated circuit, requires only a single additional pin, has a controlled peak current range, a large dc voltage swing for a given dc supply potential, and an efficient dc to ac current conversion ratio.</p> |
