Control circuit for DC-DC converter in semiconductor integrated circuit device
A DC-DC converter for generating power supply voltage differing from input voltage, while operating a semiconductor circuit at a predetermined speed regardless of differences between devices or changes in the operation environment. An output voltage control circuit compares an oscillation signal, which is provided from a ring oscillator of the semiconductor circuit, with a triangular wave signal, which is provided from an oscillator of the DC-DC converter, and changes the output voltage of the DC-DC converter in accordance with the comparison result. This substantially equalizes the oscillation signal of the ring oscillator with the triangular wave signal, which functions as a reference signal, and operates the semiconductor circuit at a speed that is in accordance with the triangular wave signal.
