A circuit which supplies a clock pulse to activate the microcomputer includes a sinusoidal wave oscillation circuit. A sinusoidal waveulse converting circuit is provided which converts an oscillation output of the sinusoidal wave oscillation circuit into a clock pulse when the level of the oscillation output exceeds a predetermined value. The clock pulse is supplied to the microcomputer by the converting circuit. The converting circuit includes a first inverter having a threshold value on the high voltage side of the central level of the amplitude of the oscillation output and a second inverter having a threshold value on the low voltage side of the central level of the amplitude. In addition, the converting circuit includes an RS flip flop which generates a clock pulse whose level changes alternately by the outputs of the first and second inverters.
