Original Abstract Submitted
An oscillator includes a power supply terminal to which a high-potential-side power supply voltage is supplied, a ground terminal to which a low-potential-side power supply voltage is supplied, a clock terminal that outputs a clock signal, an output control terminal to which an output control signal of the clock signal is input, and a failure diagnosis terminal that outputs a failure diagnosis signal. The output control terminal receives the output control signal having a first logic which is one of a positive logic and a negative logic, and the failure diagnosis terminal outputs the failure diagnosis signal having a second logic which is the other one of the positive logic and the negative logic.
