Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2590035A1] The circuit (10) has a rectifier (11) for rectifying the alternating voltage (VP). An oscillator stage (15) provides a reference signal (VR). A comparison unit compares the frequency of the alternating voltage with the frequency of the reference signal. A frequency adjusting unit (18) is connected to the piezoelectric element or electro-active polymer (23) for providing a frequency adjustment signal (VA) to the piezoelectric element or polymer based on the result of the comparison by the comparison unit to regulate oscillation frequency of an oscillating mechanical system.
