Abstract
A gated oscillator implemented with cascade-connected inverting logic circuits and resistor-capacitor timing elements generates oscillations so long as an inhibiting signal is not applied to one of the logic circuits. Means are provided to maintain potentials on the timing elements during application of inhibiting signal, which potentials are equivalent to steady-state operating potentials at the inception of a state transition. When the inhibiting signal is discontinued allowing oscillations to be generated, the initial pulse period is equal to the steady-state pulse period.
