After the preheating time, the capacitor Cpre is first quickly discharged and then recharged
by the current Ifs, generating a second voltage ramp which feeds a transconductance
amplifier, as shown in Figure 6 (the switch is closed). Thus, this voltage signal is converted
into a growing current which is subtracted from Imax to produce the frequency shifting from
fmax to fmin. The current that drives the oscillator to set the frequency during this shifting is
equal to:
