Abstract (en)

[origin: US4191899A] An integrated circuit junction capacitor is formed using conventional bipolar transistor technology. Voltage variable capacitance is provided by a reverse biased emitter-base junction and parasitic collector-base capacitance is isolated from the emitter-base capacitance by maintaining the base-collector junction in a reverse biased condition. A bootstrapped driver circuit is also described in which bootstrap current is provided by a transistor-like structure in which an internal load capacitance enables circuit performance to remain substantially constant under various driven load conditions.
