An object is to provide a clock generating circuit that can suppress variation of an oscillation frequency from the clock generating circuit, which is due to a change in the output voltage according to a discharging characteristic of the battery, and effectively utilize the remaining power of the battery. A structure includes an output voltage detecting circuit for detecting an output voltage from a battery; a frequency-division number determining circuit for determining the number of frequency-division by a value of the output voltage detected by the output voltage detecting circuit; an oscillation circuit for outputting a reference clock signal depending on the output voltage; a counter circuit for counting a number of waves of the reference clock signal that depends on the number of frequency-division; and a frequency-dividing circuit that frequency-divides the reference clock signal depending on the number of waves counted by the counter circuit.
