The specification discloses a regulated temperature compensated current
source in combination with a self resonant oscillator. The current source
receives an unregulated DC voltage and compensates the DC voltage with a
negative current coefficient. A current source circuit receives the
compensated DC voltage in order to generate a regulated current. The
current source circuitry has a positive temperature coefficient to thereby
provide temperature compensation to the generated current. The oscillator
includes a resonant transformer connected at the ends thereof to first and
second transistors. A pair of voltage detectors are also connected across
the ends of the transformer for receiving drive current and for rendering
alternate ones of the transistors conductive in dependence upon which end
of the transformer is at the highest potential. The oscillator thus
operates in a self resonant mode to generate a very stable sinusoidal wave
which is particularly adapted for application to a multiplier for
generation of a stable DC output signal.
