Abstract
The piezoelectric oscillator is a Colpitts circuit including a piezoelectric vibrator and a load capacitance in the oscillating loop and a limiter circuit. The excitation signal from the piezoelectic vibrator is supplied to the limiter circuit, and the limiter circuit controls the inter-terminal impedance of the capacitor which is connected to the limiter based on variations in the excitation signal and thus clips the level of the excitation signal.
