Oscillation circuit, microcomputers and IC cards using the same.

摘要

An oscillation circuit comprises a plurality of inversion circuits, and a plurality of delay circuits, wherein at least one of the inversion circuits is constituted by a plurality of inverters connected in series to one another, and wherein driving capability of a first stage inverter of the plural inverters which is inserted immediately after the delay circuit provided at the input side of the oscillation circuit is made lower than that of a final stage inverter inserted immediately before the delay circuit provided at the output side of the oscillation circuit.
