Abstract

A clock control circuit comprises a control circuit 102 for outputting a control signal for adding or subtracting a phase to a reference clock, which is an input clock or a clock generated from the input clock, on each clock period of the reference clock, and a phase adjustment circuit 101 fed with the input clock and outputting an output clock having the phase adjusted to the reference clock.

Claims (3)

1. A clock control circuit comprising:

an interpolator receiving a frequency divided signal produced by a frequency dividing circuit receiving a clock signal and a signal obtained by shifting the frequency divided signal in a preset number of periods of the clock signal to produce a signal obtained on division of a timing difference of said two input signals at a preset ratio of internal division; and

a control circuit for varying value of the ratio of the internal division of the timing difference in said interpolator based on said clock signal.
