A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) includes a plurality of differential amplifiers which are ring-connected. Each amplifier includes two FETs, the sources of which are coupled. The coupled sources of each amplifier are connected to series-connected FETs which is part of a current mirror circuit. The series-connected FETs decrease transconductance of (i.e., increase impedance against) fluctuations in a power supply voltage, so that fluctuations in current flowing in the amplifiers are lessened. Thus, power-supply rejection ratio of the VCO increases and fluctuations in the VCO frequency are lessened.
