A pattern generator PG generates control data which specifies a threshold voltage to be compared with a signal under test input to an I/O terminal, and generates expected value data which represents an expected value for the comparison result between the signal under test and the threshold voltage. A threshold voltage generator generates the threshold voltage having a voltage level that corresponds to the control data at every setting timing indicated by a first timing signal. A level comparator compares the voltage level of the signal under test with its corresponding threshold voltage. A timing comparator latches the output of the level comparator at a strobe timing indicated by a second timing signal so as to generate a comparison signal. A timing adjustment unit adjusts the phase of the first timing signal.

There is provided a jitter measurement apparatus for measuring a jitter of a data signal having a substantially constant data rate. The jitter measurement apparatus includes therein a signal converting section that converts the data signal into a clock signal, where the clock signal retains timings of data transition edges of the data signal at which a data value of the data signal transits and has edges whose cycle is substantially equal to the data rate, an analytic signal generating section that converts the clock signal into an analytic signal of a complex number, and a jitter measuring section that measures the jitter of the data signal based on the analytic signal.

Provided is a phase detecting apparatus that detects a phase difference between signals, comprising a phase comparing section that sequentially delays a second input signal relative to a first input signal, according to a set value, and that compares a phase of the second input signal to a phase of the first input signal each time a relative phase between the input signals changes; and a delay adjusting section that adjusts in advance a delay amount of a signal in the phase comparing section. The delay adjusting section includes a signal generating section that generates a first adjustment signal and a second adjustment signal, which has a period that is shorter than a period of the first adjustment signal by an amount corresponding to the set value, and inputs the first adjustment signal and the second adjustment signal to the phase comparing section as the first input signal and the second input signal, respectively; and an adjusting section that adjusts a delay amount of the phase in the phase comparing section based on the phase comparison result by the phase comparing section between the first adjustment signal and the second adjustment signal.
