Abstract

In an oscillator circuit including a variable capacitor for inverting a pair of inverters oppositely to each other with a time period defined by a resistance value of a resistor and a capacitance of the variable capacitor, an additional capacitor is provided to be biased by an inverter function of an additional inverter in voltage polarity opposite to that of the variable capacitor.
