Abstract
A constant voltage circuit which can realize a low consumption current, and a crystal oscillation circuit using the constant voltage circuit. The constant voltage circuit is provided with a temperature characteristic regulation element, in order to minimize a difference between a negative slope of a voltage response of a constant voltage to a temperature change and a negative slope of a voltage response of the smallest operation voltage that can oscillate in the crystal oscillation circuit to the temperature change, so that the consumption current of the crystal oscillation circuit is decreased. When the constant current generated by the constant voltage circuit is decreased, the consumption current of the constant voltage circuit is decreased, and the consumption current of the whole oscillation device is decreased.
