Abstract:
An integrated driver circuit for driving different capacitive loads, which includes a setting element. The setting element develops a setting signal S for a given numerical measure signal M. The numerical measure signal M is developed by an input device, which is coupled to the setting element. The numerical measure signal M corresponds to one of the different capacitive loads which is driven by the driver circuit. Coupled to the setting element is an output stage, which provides an output current that corresponds to the setting signal S.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a digitally adjustable crystal oscillator having a quartz crystal and a monolithic integrated oscillator circuit including a series combination of a first frequency-adjusting capacitor C1 and a second frequency-adjusting capacitor C2 connected in parallel with the quartz crystal and comprising parallel-connected first capacitance stages and parallel-connected second capacitance stages, respectively, and an inverter circuit connected in parallel with the quartz crystal and comprising a feedback resistor R.sub.K, the output of the innverter circuit being connected to a load resistor. The inverter circuit comprises parallel-connected inverter stages, and switching elements are provided within the inverter stages and cqapacitor stages in such a way that a respective one of the inverter stages as well as a first capacitance stage C.sub.1i and a second capacitance stage C.sub.2i are switchable into or out of circuit by means of a control signal I.sub.i.
