Abstract:
A clock signal generator circuit includes a CR oscillator part, which outputs a clock signal having a frequency corresponding to a time constant determined by a capacitor and a resistor, and a frequency varying part. The frequency varying part includes a counter for performing a counting operation and varies a frequency of the clock signal by varying a resistance value of the resistor in correspondence to a count value of the counter. The resistor of the CR oscillator part includes plural resistive elements, one terminal of which are connected to a common node. The frequency varying part includes tri-state buffers, input terminals of which are connected in common and output terminals of which are connected to other terminals of the resistive elements, respectively, and varies the resistance value of the resistor by switching over states of the buffers in correspondence to the count value.

Claim (Index 1):
A clock signal generator circuit comprising:\n a CR oscillator part including a capacitor and a resistor and outputting a clock signal having a frequency corresponding to a time constant determined by the capacitor and the resistor; and a frequency varying part including an operation part, which performs a predetermined operation and outputs a signal corresponding to its operation state, and varying the frequency of the clock signal by varying a resistance value of the resistor in correspondence to the signal outputted from the operation part, wherein the resistor includes plural resistive elements, one terminals of which are connected to a common node, the frequency varying part includes plural buffers having input terminals connected in common and output terminals connected to other terminals of the resistive elements, respectively, and are switchable between a normal operation state and a high impedance state, and the frequency varying part varies the resistance value of the resistor by switching over states of the buffers in correspondence to the signal outputted from the operation part.
