摘要:
A determination circuit receives an input data signal and determines a value of the input data signal when a logic level of a sampling clock changes. A sampling clock generation circuit generates the sampling clock on the basis of the input data signal, generates a frequency adjustment value on the basis of the frequency difference between the sampling clock and the input data signal, and adjusts the frequency of the sampling clock on the basis of the frequency adjustment value. A frequency pull-in control circuit performs integration on frequency adjustment values and obtains an integral value in an individual time period. When the integral value reaches a threshold before a single time period elapses, the frequency pull-in control circuit outputs a reset signal that causes the sampling clock generation circuit to output an initial value of the frequency adjustment value until the time period elapses.

A comparator circuit outputs a comparison result obtained by comparing a data signal with a threshold whose magnitude is adjusted based on a first offset value at a timing synchronized with a second clock signal whose phase is adjusted based on a difference in phase between the data signal and a first clock signal and a second offset value. An eye monitor circuit thins comparison results obtained in a clock data recovery (CDR) circuit for individual symbols of the data signal by comparing the data signal with a threshold, selects a comparison result corresponding to a symbol for which the comparison result is obtained by the comparator circuit, determines, by comparing the selected comparison result with the comparison result obtained by the comparator circuit, whether or not an error has occurred due to the first or second offset value, and outputs the number of times the error has occurred.
