Abstract

An oscillator includes a comparator and a variable voltage element. The comparator has a first input set to a reference voltage, a second input, and an output configured to produce an output voltage as a function of the voltages at the first and second inputs. The variable voltage element delivers to the second input a second voltage that is a function of a switched current. The switched current is a function of the reference voltage.
