Abstract

An oscillator starting control circuit capable of shortening a starting time and stably controlling the starting time, and furthermore, stabilizing an oscillating frequency after starting an oscillating circuit. An oscillating circuit (1) is a crystal oscillating circuit in which an input and an output of an inverter (14) are connected to both ends of a crystal oscillator (15) and both ends of a resistor (16), the input is connected to a drain of an MOS variable capacity (10), the output is connected to a drain of an MOS variable capacity (11), a source of the MOS variable capacity (10) is connected to a fixed capacity (12), a source of the MOS variable capacity (11) is connected to a fixed capacity (13), and the other ends of the fixed capacities (12, 13) are connected to a GND.
