PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology that can stably operate a PLL circuit. SOLUTION: A charge pump circuit 3 provided in a PLL circuit 100 is a constant current output type and charges and discharges the capacitor belonging to a loop filter with a constant current. Current that changes in accordance with the frequency controlled voltage VT outputted from the loop filter 4 is caused to flow to a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) 5, and the rate of change of the current determines a voltage-frequency conversion gain Kv. When the electrical characteristics of a MOS transistor constituting the PLL circuit 100 fluctuate, the rates of change of constant current in the charge pump circuit 3 and of current in the VCO 5 fluctuate in an opposite direction. As a result of this, the conversion gain Kp of a phase comparing part 1 and the conversion gain Kv of the VCO 5 fluctuate in an opposite direction to be able to obtain the PLL circuit 100 whose total gain hardly fluctuates.
