REGULATOR, SERIALIZER, DESERIALIZER, SERIALIZER/DESERIALIZER CIRCUIT, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

According to an embodiment, a regulator includes: a voltage control circuit to supply a voltage; a clock signal output circuit to output a clock signal controlled by the voltage supplied from the voltage control circuit; and a current control circuit to supply the voltage supplied from the voltage control circuit to the clock signal output circuit, the current control circuit make to flow a dummy current which is determined based on the voltage, and stopping flowing the dummy current at a timing when the clock signal output circuit outputs the clock signal.
