Benefits of technology

[0009] In consideration of the problems, the invention is intended for fixing an electric potential of an epitaxial layer provided under a bonding pad to which a resonance circuit for a VCO is connected to a predetermined electric potential through a resistor, thereby increasing a speed of a change in the electric potential of the epitaxial layer and quickly stabilizing a value of a parasitic capacity, resulting in an improvement in a drift when a power supply is turned ON.

Problems solved by technology

For this reason, when a VCO coil is to be varied and regulated to generate a desirable AFT voltage, a VCO oscillating frequency cannot be regulated accurately or the regulation takes a great deal of time and labor if a drift is caused while the IC power is ON.

Embodiment Construction

[0020] A video signal receiving circuit according to an embodiment to which an oscillating circuit of the invention is applied will be described below with reference to the drawings. Since a basic circuit structure of the video signal receiving circuit is equivalent to the circuit structure shown in FIG. 4, description thereof will be omitted to avoid repetitive explanation.

[0021] FIGS. 1 and 3 are sectional and plan views showing a bonding pad structure in the oscillating circuit according to the invention.

[0022] In FIGS. 1 and 3, the reference numeral 1 denotes a P-type semiconductor substrate, for example, and the reference numeral 2 denotes an island formed in the substrate 1 (which will be hereinafter referred to as an N-type epitaxial layer 2). Each epitaxial layer 2 is isolated through an element isolating region (ISO) 3.

[0023] The reference numeral 4 denotes an oxide film formed on the substrate 1, and a bonding pad 5 formed of a metal layer is provided on the epitaxial laye...

Abstract

An electric potential of an epitaxial layer 2A provided under a bonding pad 5 to which a resonance circuit for a VCO is to be connected is fixed to a predetermined (Vcc) electric potential through a resistor 6 in a conventional floating state. Consequently, a speed of a change in the electric potential of the epitaxial layer 2A is increased and a value of a parasitic capacity is stabilized quickly. Consequently, a drift can be improved when a power supply is turned ON.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001] The present invention relates to an oscillating circuit, and particularly, to an oscillating circuit to be used for a video signal receiving device having an improved VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) free run frequency characteristic, particularly, which serves to detect a video in a PLL (phase-locked loop) type video detecting circuit, for example.[0002] In the PLL type video detecting circuit, a VCO circuit for locking to an input signal to detect a video is used. The VCO circuit regulates a free run frequency into an IF frequency (for example, 45.75 MHz specified for U.S.) to be used by means of an externally provided resonance circuit 51 formed by a variable coil L1 and a capacitor C1 as shown in FIG. 4. The resonance circuit 51 is connected to an oscillator 52 provided in an IC through an IC pin 54 of a lead frame (not shown) and a bonding pad 53 for connecting with an IC terminal. The resonance circuit may be constituted by an internal elem...
