Abstract:
The present invention refers to an oscillator of the type using digital inverter circuits. In an embodiment the oscillator comprises:
a first inverter (20) having a first input and a first output; a second inverter (21) having a second input and a second output; said first output being coupled to said second input; a first capacitor (C) applied between said second output and said first input; characterized by further comprising a first current generator (22) generating a first prefixed current able to charge said capacitor responsive to a first control signal; a second current generator (25) generating a second prefixed current able to discharge said capacitor responsive to a second control signal; said first and second control signal being complementary.
Abstract:
An electronic circuit with suppression of high-voltage transients on the power supply line, comprising at least one pair of power transistors (T1, T2) which are series-connected between a power source and the ground, each power transistor being provided with a respective driving circuit (1, 2); the electronic circuit comprises, for each one of the transistors (T1, T2) of the pair, a diode (D1, D2) and a Zener diode (Z1, Z2), the diode (D1) of the transistor (T1) connected to the supply voltage being connected, by means of its anode terminal, to the base terminal of the transistor (T1, T2) and, by means of its cathode terminal, to the cathode terminal of the Zener diode (Z1), the anode terminal whereof is connected to the power source, the cathode terminal of the Zener diode (Z2) of the transistor (T2) that is connected to the ground being connected to the anode terminal of the Zener diode (Z1) related to the transistor (T1) that is connected to the power supply.
