ABSTRACT:
A ring oscillator oscillates at a frequency determined by an input bias signal. A bias signal adjusting unit produces a bias signal for the ring oscillator using feedback so that the oscillation frequency of the ring oscillator matches a predetermined reference frequency. An individual bias circuit includes a plurality of bias circuits provided for a total of N second variable delay elements, respectively. The bias circuits are configured such that the bias signals can be individually adjusted.
