Abstract:
A clock generating circuit includes: a counter that counts a number of pulses of an oscillation clock signal existed within one cycle of a reference clock signal; a first time-to-digital converter that generates a plurality of phases of first clock signals by delaying the oscillation clock signal; a second time-to-digital converter that generates a plurality of phases of second clock signals by delaying the oscillation clock signal by a short delay time; a third time-to-digital converter that generates a plurality of phases of third clock signals by delaying the delayed first clock signal; a delay control unit that outputs a delay control signal based on a difference between a cycle of the oscillation clock signal and a target cycle; and an oscillator that generates, based on a cycle of the reference clock signal, the oscillation clock signal whose cycle is 1/m of the cycle of the reference clock signal.
