ABSTRACT:
An oscillation-stop detection circuit includes a switching unit that repeats turning on and off based on a cycle of an oscillation signal from an outside; a capacitor that is charged when the switching unit is turned on, and discharged when the switching unit is turned off; a first MOS transistor that flows a discharge current of the capacitor when the capacitor is discharged; a discharge cutoff unit that cuts off a discharge path for the discharge current to flow, for a predetermined time right after a power is turned on; and a detecting unit that detects a status of the oscillation signal based on a voltage of the capacitor.
