In particular, vref=vc1 when the oscillator is flipped, so there are I B1×r1= I B2×t/C1, t=r1c1, and f=1/T, F is frequency, so f=1/R1C 1. In this embodiment, r1=50k, c1=20p, the theoretical value t=1us, and the measured value t=1.18us due to errors of devices and delays of circuit operation can be more accurate by slightly adjusting the capacitance.
