Abstract of the Disclosure, A relaxation oscillator which is suited for fabrication as a monolithic circuit and which uses a parallel resistive capacitive frequency determining network wherein a capacitor is charged and discharged between an upper and lower voltage level. As the capacitor is charged to a potential exceeding a first threshold voltage level supplied to a comparator switch, the operating state of the comparator is caused to switch. A current detecting circuit is included which detects a current that is proportional to the charging current supplied to the capacitor from a charge circuit. As the proportional current decreases in value below a predetermined level due to the …

Why it's free to use
- Granted March 5, 1985. A Canadian patent filed before October 1, 1989 lasted 17 years from grant, so its term ended March 5, 2002.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
