Abstract:
A voltage controlled oscillator and a switching circuit therein are capable of surely disabling the unselected circuit. In the case where a switching voltage is low, a first PNP transistor is turned on, and a voltage is applied to a first circuit connecting to the collector of the first PNP transistor. A second PNP transistor is then turned off, and no voltage is applied to a second circuit connecting the collector of the second PNP transistor. In contrast, in the case where the switching voltage is high, the first PNP transistor is turned off, and voltage is not applied to the first circuit. The second PNP transistor is turned on, and a voltage is applied to the second circuit.
