Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a frequency multiplier circuit whose output duty is 50% by using a constant current source to charge/discharge of a capacitor, coupling an output triangle wave through a capacitor and amplifying the wave, and taking exclusive OR between an input signal and an output of the amplifier. CONSTITUTION:A capacitor 7 is charged/discharged by a constant current source 5, its output triangle wave is coupled by a capacitor and amplified by the amplifier 9 and exclusive OR 10 between the input signal and the output of the amplifier 9 is taken. Since the input waveform to the amplifier 9 is a triangle wave having a slope depending on the capacitance of the capacitor 7 charged/ discharged by the constant current sources 5, 6, the slopes are made symmetrically on the border of a threshold voltage VTR at the input of the amplifier 9 and the multiplied output is an output waveform whose duty ratio is 50%. Moreover, even if the constant current or the capacitance of the capacitor or the like have manufacturing dispersion, they have only to vary the peak value of the triangle wave and the symmetry of the slopes is not lost, the output duty is not subject to the effect but always 50%.
