    摘要: A PLL circuit which outputs an oscillation clock signal synchronous with a reference clock includes a phase lock detector for detecting if the oscillation clock signal is synchronous with the reference clock. If the phase lock detector detects a phase difference between the oscillation clock signal and the reference clock, a charge pump circuit is used to alter the oscillation clock signal so that the oscillation signal is placed back in sync with the reference clock. The charge pump selects one of a ground potential and a power supply potential in response to a comparison result of the oscillation clock signal and the reference clock. The charge pump pulls a constant current to ground from an output terminal of the charge pump circuit when the ground potential is selected and supplies a constant current to the output terminal of the charge pump circuit when the power supply potential is selected, thereby producing an output which alternately repeats the ground potential and the power supply potential.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit having a clock signal generator comprising a ring oscillator (20), a divider (14), a phase comparator (15), and an up-down counter (16). The ring oscillator (20) provides variable oscillation frequencies determined by a sum of the delay times provided by the circuit elements constituting the oscillator. The divider (14) divides the oscillation frequency from the ring oscillator (20) by a specified number. The phase comparator (15) compares the frequency of the signal from the divider (14) with the frequency of the external clock signal (S fe ). The up-down counter (16) controls the oscillation frequency of the ring oscillator (20) based on the comparison result from the comparator (15). The clock generator is controlled by an external clock signal (S fe ) to generate an Internal clock signal (S fc ) having a higher frequency and outputs both signals. By use of a digital integrated circuit technology alone, it becomes possible to include slow operating semiconductor elments and fast operating semiconductor elements on the same circuit chip without sacrificing the excellent characteristics of the latter.
