Abstract
A gated oscillator is disclosed wherein the first period of oscillation is substantially equal to the steady state period of oscillation. The gated oscillator is of the type wherein oscillations are produced by charging and discharging a capacitor between respective first and second voltage levels. When the oscillator is stopped, the capacitor potential is maintained at the first voltage level, so that when the oscillator is started, the capacitor begins its charging cycle at the first voltage level.
