A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus such as a disk drive has a phase locked loop circuit which is less susceptible to an effect of noise of a power supply and ground and reduces a clock jitter. The magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus is compatible to a constant density recording system without increasing a circuit scale and a power consumption and with a small number of IC pins. The phase locked loop circuit of the magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus is provided with two D/A converter circuits to drive a loop filter. It is also provided with a circuit for distributing a reference potential of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and a center frequency of the VCO, a gain of the VCO and a current gain of the D/A converter circuit are changed in linked relation. A reference voltage source is provided such that a center point or one end of the loop filter is connected to the reference voltage eliminating the ground connection.

A playback signal processing circuit for reducing decode errors and enabling high-density digital magnetic recording and a digital magnetic recording reproducing unit using the playback signal processing circuit are provided. An estimated waveform generation circuit uses the decoding result of a PRML channel to generate an ideal playback signal waveform. A subtractor provides a waveform representing a difference between the waveform and an actual playback signal. There is a high probability that error bits will occur at an interval of two or four bits because of the nature of GCR code and maximum-likelihood decoding; in the error state of each bit, one bit is incremented by one with respect to the correct bit value and the other signal bit is decremented by one. From this fact, an error detection circuit discriminates an error difference waveform pattern and an error discrimination circuit detects an error bit interval, whereby an error correction circuit carries out error bit correction.

A clock timing extraction circuit for use in an information recording/reproducing apparatus has a phase comparator for comparing the reproduced signal with a selected clock signal to generate a phase error signal, a clock signal generation circuit for adjusting frequency to cause the error signal to approach zero according to the phase error signal and outputting a plurality of clock signals having mutually different phase differences, a selection circuit for outputting one of the plurality of clock signals on the basis of a selection signal, a phase difference judgement circuit for determining one of the plurality of clock signals having a minimum phase error (Vdet) and generating a selection signal for selection of the clock signal having the minimum phase difference, and a freeze circuit for blocking an output of the phase comparator until the clock signal having the minimum phase error is selected. The information recording/reproducing apparatus has an AGC circuit for limiting an amplitude of a reproduced signal received from a recording medium, the aforementioned clock timing extraction circuit, and a decoder circuit. The clock timing extraction circuit extracts a clock signal from an output signal of the AGC circuit and the decoder decodes the output signal of the AGC circuit on the basis of the extracted clock signal.

A semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided to include a vertical type MOSFET and a gate protection element for the MOSFET. The vertical type MOSFET is made up of a silicon layer of n-type conductivity formed on an n.sup.+ -type silicon substrate, a base region of p-type conductivity formed in the surface of the silicon layer of n-type conductivity, an n.sup.+ -type source region provided in the base region, and a gate electrode formed on a portion of the base region through a gate insulating film. The silicon substrate serves as the drain. The gate protection element is formed of a polycrystalline silicon layer which is provided on the base region through an insulating film and includes at least one pn junction. By virtue of forming the gate protection element over the base region rather than directly over the substrate, a more stable operation is achieved.
