发明名称 Oscillation circuit
摘要 An oscillation circuit includes: a ramp voltage generating unit configured to generate a ramp voltage; and a clock signal generating unit configured to generate a clock signal. The clock signal generating unit includes: a bias unit configured to apply one of the ramp voltage and a fixed voltage, as a bias voltage, to a resistor; and an oscillator configured to determine an oscillation frequency of the clock signal in response to a bias current flowing through the resistor.
