Abstract

See full text

An oscillator includes: inverters that are connected in a loop shape and of which the number is an odd number greater than or equal to three; and a delay section that delays change in a voltage which is input to one inverter of the odd number of inverters. The one inverter is a schmitt trigger inverter. The schmitt trigger inverter includes a current source, and a resistor in which current supplied by the current source flows. A hysteresis width of the schmitt trigger inverter depends on the current which flows in the resistor.
