Abstract: The tuner has a voltage converter producing a relatively high voltage for controlling a VCO, the converter being based on a Colpitts oscillator circuit (205) with a transistor operated in its linear region. The alternating voltage produced is rectified (207) to produce a direct voltage signal of variable level, e.g. up to 30 volts. A control circuit (201) connected across the low-pass filtered (209) voltage reduces the variations in damping of the control voltage. <??>The control circuit (201) has two loops: the first loop controls the phase of the output signal of the VCO (203) by controlling the level of the output voltage of the voltage converter, and the second loop sets the value of current (Ic) to that of a reference current. The voltage converter delivers the variable direct voltage signal for controlling the VCO (203) on the basis of a direct low-voltage source (204). In the control circuit (201), the current (I2) is injected into an active integrator circuit comprising a comparator (210), a transistor (T2), and a feedback filter (211). The filter-type circuit (206) comprises a low-pass filter (R1,C4) in series with an inductor (L2), the additional circuit (209) comprises a low-pass filter (R2,C6) in series with a resistor (R3), and the circuit (212) is a filter of the third order. <??>Independent claims are included for : <??>(1) a set top box including a tuner according to the invention; and <??>(2) a TV receiver including a tuner according to the invention.
