    Abstract: In a high-frequency oscillator, a first resonance circuit and a second resonance circuit are respectively connected to a first amplifier circuit and a second amplifier circuit. A selection circuit includes a first switch circuit and a second switch circuit which selectively operate one of the first amplifier circuit and the second amplifier circuit. A grounded capacitor is connected to output sides of the first amplifier circuit and the second amplifier circuit. The grounded capacitor is commonly used by both the first amplifier circuit and the second amplifier circuit. An auxiliary grounded capacitor is connected between the first switch circuit and the first amplifier circuit. Accordingly, the grounded capacitor and the auxiliary grounded capacitor are connected to each other in parallel only when the first amplifier circuit is activated.

    Abstract: A programmable capacitor array does not require separate switching transistors because the capacitors themselves have a switchable capacitance, which capacitors are made in the manner of regular N channel transistors with their source/drains connected to each other. When a logic low is applied to the gate, the capacitance is relatively low and the capacitance is what is commonly called parasitic capacitance. The capacitance increases significantly when a logic high is applied to the gate because the logic high has the effect of inverting the channel. Thus, the capacitor array is made of transistors that themselves have switchable capacitance operated so that no separate switching transistors are required. This allows for construction of an array of unit capacitors to achieve monotonic operation and good linearity using conventional manufacturing of N channel transistors while achieving significant area savings and reduced power consumption.

    Abstract: An arrangement and a method for connecting a capacitor into a circuit and disconnecting it therefrom are disclosed. The capacitor includes two capacitor elements, each with a main terminal and an auxiliary terminal. The auxiliary terminals are connected to one another at a reference node to which a control signal can be coupled as a function of the desired capacitance value. The capacitance value is tapped at the main terminals of the capacitor elements. When the capacitor is switched on, a high quality level is obtained, and when the capacitor is switched off, low parasitic capacitance components are obtained. For this reason the described arrangement is particularly suitable for use in voltage-controlled oscillators.
