  • Patent number: 11418202
    Abstract: An oscillator circuit includes a current source, an oscillating section, a first capacitor, and a setting section. The current source is coupled to a connection node and causes a current having a current value based on an input voltage to flow from a first power node to the connection node. The oscillating section is on a current path between the connection node and a second power node. The oscillating section oscillates at an oscillation frequency based on a current flowing through the current path. The first capacitor is between the connection node and the second power node. The first capacitor has a capacitance that varies in accordance with a voltage at the connection node. The setting section that performs variation operation based on the voltage at the connection node. The variation operation is operation of varying an impedance between the connection node and the second power node.

The current source is coupled to a connection node, and is configured to cause a current having a current value based on an input voltage to flow from a first power node to the connection node. The oscillating section is provided on a current path between the connection node and a second power node. The oscillating section is configured to oscillate at an oscillation frequency based on a current flowing through the current path. The first capacitor is provided between the connection node and the second power node. The first capacitor has a capacitance that varies in accordance with a voltage at the connection node. The setting section is configured to perform variation operation on the basis of the voltage at the connection node. The variation operation is operation of varying an impedance between the connection node and the second power node.
