ABSTRACT:
In an oscillation apparatus formed by a ring oscillator including an odd number of inverters (more than two inverters) connected in a ring, each of the inverters having one drive MOS transistor and one load MOS transistor, a constant voltage generating circuit is adapted to generate a constant voltage corresponding to a threshold voltage of the drive MOS transistor, and a voltage-to-current converting circuit is adapted to convert the constant voltage into load currents. Each of the load currents flows through the load MOS transistor of one of the inverters.
