    摘要: A sampling clock generator generates a sampling clock based on a reference clock and an internal clock. An internal clock generator causes, during a period in which the sampling clock is at a second voltage level, the internal clock to transition from a first voltage level to a second voltage level when a first comparison signal and a second comparison signal transition to voltage levels different from each other, and the internal clock to transition from the second voltage level to the first voltage level after a variable delay time has elapsed when the first and second comparison signals transition to a same voltage level. A delay controller controls the variable delay time in the internal clock generator so that the ratio of a period in which the sampling clock is at a first voltage level to a period of the reference clock approaches a predetermined ratio.

    摘要: An oscillator circuit increases and reduces signal levels of first and second oscillation signals in a complementary manner in response to a transition of a signal level of a reference clock. An oscillation control circuit compares each of the signal levels of the first and second oscillation signals to a comparison voltage, and causes the signal level of the reference clock to transition according to results of the comparison. A reference control circuit increases or reduces the comparison voltage so that a difference between a signal level of an intermediate signal which is proportional to respective swings of the first and second oscillation signals and a reference voltage is reduced.

    摘要: In a device for generating a clock signal having a desired phase from input multi-phase clock signals, an intermediate clock generator generates, by using one of the input multi-phase clock signals as a reference clock signal, multi-phase intermediate clock signals in which one cycle is equal to a plurality of cycles of the reference clock signal. A first phase selector selects one of the multi-phase intermediate clock signals. A second phase selector selects one of the multi-phase clock signals. A latch circuit latches the intermediate clock signal selected by the first phase selector with the clock signal selected by the second phase selector.

    摘要: A selection section (105) selects a step voltage, among a plurality of step voltages (SV1, SV2, SV3, . . . ) each having a voltage value changing stepwise, corresponding to the digital value of digital data (D-DATA). For each of the plurality of step voltages (SV1, SV2, SV3, . . . ), different digital values are allocated to different steps of the step voltage. An amplifier section (106) amplifies the step voltage selected by the selection section (105). An output section (107) outputs the step voltage amplified by the amplifier section (106) as an output voltage (Vout) for a time period corresponding to the digital value of the digital data (D-DATA).
