Abstract
A circuit arrangement includes a self-oscillating oscillator circuit electrically connected with a series arrangement of a resistor arranged in series with a capacitor. The series arrangement determines the oscillation frequency of the oscillator circuit. The oscillator circuit serves to supply an oscillating supply voltage to an electronic device that exhibits a resonant frequency. A control signal output of the electronic device has a resistive coupling to the series arrangement. The control signal output serves to supply a control signal representative of the oscillation mode of the electronic device.
