With a delta sigma modulator of this invention, a plurality of clocks
required to control a switching circuit can be easily generated and
correlation among phases of the plurality of clocks can be automatically
maintained while a frequency of the clocks is modified. A ring oscillator
is formed of three delay circuits provided with differential amplifiers
in the delta sigma modulator. A clock producing circuit produces the
plurality of clocks to control the switching circuit by delaying
three-phase clocks outputted from the ring oscillator. All the tail
currents Ic in the differential amplifiers in the delay circuits in the
ring oscillator and the tail currents Ic in the differential amplifiers
in the delay circuits in the clock producing circuit are proportional to
each other.
