H03K 4/502

the capacitor being charged from a constant-current source

Introduced: January 1995

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Generating pulses having essentially a finite slope or stepped portions > having triangular shape > having sawtooth shape > using as active elements semiconductor devices > in which a sawtooth voltage is produced across a capacitor > the starting point of the flyback period being determined by the amplitude of the voltage across the capacitor, e.g. by a comparator > the capacitor being charged from a constant-current source

CPC:

Generating pulses having essentially a finite slope or stepped portions > having triangular shape > having sawtooth shape > using as active elements semiconductor devices (H03K4/787 - H03K4/84 take precedence) > in which a sawtooth voltage is produced across a capacitor > the starting point of the flyback period being determined by the amplitude of the voltage across the capacitor, e.g. by a comparator > the capacitor being charged from a constant-current source

No child classifications to compare. This is a leaf node in both IPC and CPC.
