Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a reference-voltage circuit configured to produce a predetermined reference voltage at an output node thereof, a comparator, coupled to a node to which an oscillating signal is supplied and to the output node of the reference-voltage circuit, to produce a result of comparison at an output node thereof, the result of comparison being made by comparing a voltage of the oscillating signal with the predetermined reference voltage, and a detection circuit coupled to the output node of the comparator to produce, in response to the result of comparison, a stable-state-detection signal indicating that the oscillating signal has an amplitude larger than the reference voltage.
