ABSTRACT:
A ring oscillator includes a plurality of inverters, a leakage current generating part, and a current controlling part. The current controlling part supplies the inverters with a source current in accordance with a value of a leakage current generated from the leakage current generating part. The leakage current generated from the leakage current generating part is correlated with a leakage current generated from a memory cell. The oscillating frequency of the ring oscillator can be varied in accordance with the leakage current generated from the leakage current generating part.
