ABSTRACT:
A ring oscillator is an oscillator, which is composed of serially connected buffers, for outputting a plurality of phases, and a last buffer output is inverted and fed back to a first buffer. A decoder selects one of outputs from the ring oscillator according to externally supplied digital data indicating an amount of a delay time to be set. A counter counts an output from the decoder, and outputs a delay signal if a count value reaches a predetermined number. That is, the counter outputs a signal with an amount of delay time according to digital data.
