Abstract

An oscillator circuit comprises a current path including a capacitor having a first side and a second side, wherein each of the first and second side of the capacitor is selectively connectable to at least a first supply terminal to apply a first voltage potential or a second supply terminal to apply a second voltage potential. The oscillator circuit comprises a comparator having a first input terminal being selectively connectable to the first or the second side of the capacitor, and a second input terminal being connected to a terminal to apply a reference voltage. An output signal of the oscillator circuit is generated in dependence on a comparator output signal of the comparator.
