    摘要: A voltage controlled oscillator includes an emitter coupled multivibrator in which a capacitor determines the frequency of oscillation along with a pair of load resistors (14, 15) and a pair of current sources (16, 17). A differential amplifier (20, 21) is coupled to operate in parallel with the multivibrator and its tail current is oper­ated differentially, with respect to the currents in the pair of sources (16, 17), in response to the input voltage at a first modulation input port. Thus, a constant current flows in the multivibrator loads even when the frequency is modulated. A second input port is coupled to vary the tail current in the differential amplifier to comprise a dual port control of the voltage controlled oscil­lator. The circuit can be operated at a relatively low supply voltage and can be temperature compensated. Furthermore, the input ports can include circuitry having a logarithimic response for digital signaling processing.
