Abstract:
A capacitor bank has a capacitance value that is discontinuous and has an extremely narrow variable range. Thus, in a case of obtaining a wide variable range of the capacitance value, a large number of capacitors are connected in parallel and used while being switched by switches. The present technology achieves at least one of: allowing the capacitance value of a variable capacitance circuit to be varied continuously by electrical control without increasing the parasitic capacitance; and decreasing the current consumption of an oscillator circuit using the variable capacitance circuit as compared to a conventional case. The variable capacitance circuit includes: a transconductance circuit that includes a MOS transistor; an inductor that is connected in parallel to the transconductance circuit; and a Gm control circuit that varies a transconductance of the MOS transistor.

Claim (Index 2):
The variable capacitance circuit according to  claim 1 , wherein the Gm control circuit includes: a current source MOS transistor that passes a current between a drain and a source of the MOS transistor; and a voltage control unit that variably generates a gate voltage input to a gate of the current source MOS transistor.
