Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a ring oscillator and a noise canceller. The ring oscillator includes first and second signal generators. The first signal generator is configured to generate a first output signal having a first phase based on an input signal. The second signal generator is configured to generate a second output signal having a second phase different from the first phase based on the input signal. The noise canceller includes first and second amplifiers and an arithmetic module. The first amplifier is configured to amplify the first output signal generated by the first signal generator using a first amplification factor. The second amplifier is configured to amplify the second output signal generated by the second signal generator using a second amplification factor. The arithmetic module is configured to combine the first output signal amplified by the first amplifier with the second output signal amplified by the second amplifier.
