Abstract: An oscillation frequency control circuit controls a second oscillation circuit, which generates and outputs a second clock signal of a second frequency according to a received control signal, to control the second frequency. The oscillation frequency control circuit includes a frequency difference detection circuit unit configured to detect a difference between a predetermined first frequency of a first clock signal generated by an external first oscillation circuit and the second frequency, and generate and output an output signal indicating a detection result, and a frequency control circuit unit configured to control, according to the output signal of the frequency difference detection circuit unit, the second oscillation circuit to control the second frequency of the second clock signal to make an absolute value of the difference between the first frequency and the second frequency greater than a predetermined value.
