Abstract
A calibration unit is designed to contain an oscillator circuit whose frequency is determined by the RC time constant of a resistor, which is of the same type as the resistor used in the filter circuit that is to be calibrated, and of a capacitor device which has been set to a fixed value. The oscillator frequency is converted into counting pulses, and the number of counting pulses which is counted in a modulo binary counter within a time interval is transmitted as a digital calibration signal for a calibratable capacitor device in the filter circuit in order to calibrate the latter.
