Abstract:
A ring oscillator is configured with a multiple number of logic inverting circuits in a ring shape and generates multi-phase clock signals. A period measuring unit measures a period of a reference clock inputted thereto by the multi-phase clock signals of the ring oscillator and outputs a measured period as a period data value. A frequency spreading calculation unit calculates a frequency spreading command value in accordance with a frequency spreading rate, a frequency spreading period and the period data value of the period measuring unit, which are inputted. A pulse generation unit generates a clock pulse corresponding to the frequency spreading command value in accordance with a data value determined by addition of the frequency spreading command value to the period data value.

Claim (Index 8):
The frequency spreading circuit according to  claim 3 , wherein:\n the frequency spreading calculation unit is configured to calculate the frequency spreading command value as F=(N 1 \u2212FB/4PW)\u00d7(CP\u00d7A/100)/(FB/4PW) sequentially while varying continuously a calculation variable value N 1  from 0 to FB/2PW and from FB/2PW to 0, assuming that A is the frequency spreading rate, FB is the frequency spreading period, CP is the period data value of the period measuring unit and PW is a period of the reference clock.
