Abstract

PURPOSE:To extend a battery life by lowering the threshold voltage of an inverter amplifier to constitute a crystal oscillator and lowering it in accordance with the reduction of a battery voltage. CONSTITUTION:A C-MOS type crystal oscillator is composed of an inverter amplifier 1, a crystal oscillator 6, capacitors 4 and 5, etc., which consist of P and N channel transistors (PTR,NTR)1a and 1b. A PTR group variable resistance 10 and an NTR group variable resistance 20 are connected between the source of the PTR1a and a high order side potential 100 and between the source of the PTR1b and a low order side potential 200. A voltage detecting input is connected to resistances 10 and 20 and the resistance value of the resistances 10 and 20 is changed accompanying the reduction of the battery voltage. Thus, the back gate bias of PTR1a and PTR1b is decreased, and an apparent threshold voltage is lowered. Consequently, the oscillation voltage is reduced and the battery life is extended.
