  • Patent number: 11309741
    Abstract: A resonance oscillator circuit is provided to include first and second oscillators. The first oscillator includes a first LC resonator circuit and an amplifier element, and oscillates by shifting a phase of an output voltage with a predetermined phase difference and feeding the output voltage back to the amplifier element. The second oscillator oscillates by generating a gate signal, which has a frequency identical to that of the output voltage, and drives the amplifier element, by shifting the phase of the output voltage with the phase difference and feeding the gate signal back to an input terminal of the amplifier element, by using the amplifier element as a switching element and using the first oscillator as a feedback circuit. The phase difference is a value substantially independent of an inductance of the first LC resonator circuit and a load, to which the output voltage is applied.

  • Patent number: 7401301
    Abstract: To enable automatic calculation of a circuit element value and a waveform by a computer. In a circuit design support for calculating a circuit element value of an analog electronic circuit to be designed, by causing a computer to execute a program having a description of a repetition calculation equation of the Newton method including the Jacobi matrix, a program of the aforementioned calculation equation in which a partial differentiation as an element in the Jacobi matrix is replaced by an approximation equation is used. Furthermore, the element to be subjected to the partial differentiation in the Jacobi matrix is obtained from the waveform observed in response to the circuit configuration of the analog electronic circuit.
