Abstract
To provide an oscillation circuit device capable of when detecting an input reference signal and making a transition from a self-running state to a PLL operation, suppressing a fluctuation in the frequency of an output signal CLK to thereby obtain a smoothly-synchronized and stable output signal CLK. There is provided an oscillation circuit device which is adapted to configure a negative feedback circuit by a V/I conversion element to which one end of a filter circuit is connected, and a buffer circuit in a self-running state, and has a configuration which enables a capacitance in the filter circuit to be charged rapidly in such a manner that an output signal CLK can be started from a frequency equal to that in the self-running state immediately after a transition to a PLL operation.
