Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an oscillating circuit and a control method thereof, in particular to an oscillating circuit composed of a CMOS circuit and a control method thereof. Background technique
[0002] In an oscillation circuit used as a reference clock generation source, a circuit in which a piezoelectric oscillator such as a crystal oscillator and a feedback resistance element are connected in parallel between the input and output of a CMOS inverter is widely used. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for suppressing useless current consumption when oscillation stops in such an oscillation circuit. The oscillating circuit of Patent Document 1 is provided with a control circuit in which a feedback resistor is constituted by a MOS transistor, and a series circuit formed by connecting a second feedback resistor having a lower resistance value than the MOS transistor in series and a capacitive element is connected to the above-mentioned The MOS tr...
