Abstract
An oscillation circuit includes first and second constant current circuits, first and second switch circuits, first and second MOS transistors, and an output port. The first constant current circuit is connected to one port of a capacitor. The first MOS transistor has a gate and a drain connected to the second constant current circuit and a source connected to another port of the capacitor. The second MOS transistor has a gate connected to the gate of the first MOS transistor, and a drain connected to the one port of the capacitor. The second switch circuit is connected between a source of the second MOS transistor and a second power supply terminal. The output port outputs a signal based on a voltage of the one port. Turn-on and turn-off of the first and second switch circuits are controlled by the signal of the output port and an inverted signal.
