摘要:
A capacitor bank has a capacitance value that is discontinuous and has an extremely narrow variable range. Thus, in a case of obtaining a wide variable range of the capacitance value, a large number of capacitors are connected in parallel and used while being switched by switches. The present technology achieves at least one of: allowing the capacitance value of a variable capacitance circuit to be varied continuously by electrical control without increasing the parasitic capacitance; and decreasing the current consumption of an oscillator circuit using the variable capacitance circuit as compared to a conventional case. The variable capacitance circuit includes: a transconductance circuit that includes a MOS transistor; an inductor that is connected in parallel to the transconductance circuit; and a Gm control circuit that varies a transconductance of the MOS transistor.
