PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a delta sigma modulator that easily generates a plurality of clocks required for control of a switch circuit while automatically holding a phase relationship among a plurality of the clocks when a clock frequency is changed. SOLUTION: In the delta sigma modulator, a ring oscillator 10 is formed by three delay circuits 11A, 11B and 11C respectively provided with a differential amplifier. A clock generation circuit 30 generates a plurality of clocks for controlling a switch of a switch circuit by delaying a three-phase clock outputted from the ring oscillator 10 with delay circuits 33, 34 and 35. A common current of each differential amplifier of the three delay circuits 11A, 11B and 11C of the ring oscillator 10 has a proportional relationship with a common current I<SB>C</SB>of each differential amplifier 111 of the three delay circuits 33, 34 and 35 of the clock generation circuit 30.
