Abstract
A control circuit for an oscillator comprising a multivibrator with transistors having their emitters connected in common and being supplied corresponding currents on respective legs, comprises a circuit structure adapted to produce on output terminals, on the one side, a current which is proportional to a reference current according to a predetermined parameter, and on the other side, a second current in turn correlated to the reference current as a function of said parameter, thereby to modify the oscillator duty cycle for a given operating frequency.
