Summary:It is desired that the temperature dependency of the frequency of a oscillator in a semiconductor IC is compensated in high precision. First signal voltage having temperature dependency and second signal voltage set to be constant independently from the temperature are outputted and A/D converted into first and second converted signals. And the compensation code is generated in response to the ratio between the first and second converted signals. The temperature dependency of the frequency of the oscillator can be compensated by using the compensation code.
