Abstract:
An oscillator circuit in accordance with an aspect of the present invention includes a filter capacitor that generates an oscillating frequency control voltage according to a charge amount accumulated based on an oscillating frequency setting current, an oscillator that changes a frequency of an oscillation signal to be output according to the oscillating frequency control voltage, a control circuit that generates a timing control signal, a frequency detection circuit that generates a frequency detection voltage based on the timing control signal, a voltage level of the frequency detection voltage being changed according to a length of the period of the oscillation signal, and a differential amplifier that continuously changes the oscillating frequency setting current according to a voltage difference between the frequency detection voltage and a reference voltage, and outputs the resultant oscillating frequency setting current to the filter capacitor.
