Reception apparatus
In a reception apparatus 1 , a multiphase sampling clock signal is generated by a sampling clock signal generation circuit 40 , based on a clock signal which has been phase-adjusted by a phase adjustment circuit 50 . The data of each of the bits of a serial data signal is sampled and output by a sampler block circuit 30 n , with timing indicated by the sampling clock signal. The amount of phase adjustment of the clock signal in the phase adjustment circuit 50 is set such that the delay time from generation of the multiphase sampling clock signal in the sampling clock signal generation circuit 40 until indication of the sampling timing by the sampling clock signal in the sampler block circuit 30 n is canceled.
1. A reception apparatus, which receives a serial data signal and a clock signal, and samples and outputs data of each bit of said serial data signal based on said clock signal, comprising:
a sampler block circuit, which takes as input said received serial data signal, also takes as input a multiphase sampling clock signal, and samples and outputs the data of each bit of said serial data signal with timing indicated by said sampling clock signal;
a phase adjustment circuit, which takes as input said received clock signal, adjusts the phase of the input clock signal, and outputs a clock signal after this phase adjustment; and
a sampling clock signal generation circuit, which takes as input said clock signal phase-adjusted and output by said phase adjustment circuit, and generates said multiphase sampling clock signal based on the input clock signal,
and characterized in that
said phase adjustment circuit adjusts the phase of said clock signal such that the delay time from generation of said multiphase sampling clock signal in said sampling clock signal generation circuit until indication of sampling timing by said sampling clock signal in said sampler block circuit is canceled.
2. The reception apparatus according to claim 1 , characterized in that
said phase adjustment circuit comprises:
a first delay portion, which imparts a delay to an input clock signal and outputs the clock signal, and in which the delay amount is variable;
a second delay portion, which imparts a delay of a prescribed amount to the clock signal output from said first delay portion, and outputs the clock signal; and
a delay control portion, which takes as input the clock signal input to said first delay portion, and takes as input the clock signal output from said second delay portion, and controls the delay amount in said first delay portion such that the phases of the two input clock signals coincide.
