ABSTRACT:
A clock signal generating circuit of the present invention switches the threshold value of a buffer circuit included in an output buffer section substantially when the oscillation output of an oscillating section is stabilized, thereby generating a clock signal. The clock signal plays the role of a clock signal for a stabilization detecting circuit at the same time. Therefore, once the oscillation is stabilized, clock components other than a clock signal whose duty cycle is 50% and which would bring about noise are obviated. This allows the clock signal output from the clock signal generating circuit to remain stable.
