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.
