Abstract: A VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) that can
realize stable oscillation operation over a broad
frequency range with a low level of jitter. The VCO
includes a plurality of basic cells having differential
input/output, and a center frequency adjustment circuit.
The plurality of basic cells are serially connected in a

two delay circuits and an adder circuit, the delay times
of the two delay circuits being each independently
determined by the center frequency adjustment circuit.
The output amplitude of each of the basic cells is

output of one of the delay circuits is multiplied by an
addition proportion coefficient, following which the
outputs of both delay circuits are added. In this way,
the delay time for each basic cell can be set over a broad
range.

Abstract: A thermal control circuit for an integrated power transistor comprises a current
generator, controlled by a turn on signal, a sensing resistance in series to the
power transistor, a current limiter acting when the voltage drop on the sensing
resistance overcomes a certain value, a current amplifier coupled to the output
node of the controlled current generator, outputting a drive current that is injected
on a control node of the power transistor, and a soft thermal shut down circuit
whose conduction state is enhanced as the temperature increases for reducing the
drive current. 
     The circuit controls the voltage on the power transistor in a more effective manner
than known devices because the current amplifier has a variable gain controlled
by the state of conduction of the soft thermal shut down circuit. 
     The improvement substantially consists in reducing progressively the gain of the
current amplifier as the temperature of the integrated circuit increases, until a
thermal equilibrium is reached.
