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 3):
The variable capacitance circuit according to  claim 2 , wherein the transconductance circuit includes: a first MOS transistor that has a gate connected to a first terminal; a second MOS transistor that has a gate connected to a drain of the first MOS transistor and a drain connected to a second terminal; a third MOS transistor that has a gate connected to the second terminal; and a fourth MOS transistor that has a gate connected to a drain of the third MOS transistor and a drain connected to the first terminal,\n the inductor is disposed between the first terminal and the second terminal, and the current source MOS transistor is provided for each of the first MOS transistor, the second MOS transistor, the third MOS transistor, and the fourth MOS transistor.
