Abstract

A circuit device is used in an electronic device including a receiver, a control circuit that performs processing on reception data received by the receiver using a clock signal, a transmitter that transmits transmission data generated by performing processing based on the reception data by the control circuit. The circuit device includes a time-to-digital conversion circuit that measures a time difference between a transition timing of a start signal based on the reception data and a transition timing of a stop signal based on the transmission data or the clock signal, and an output interface that outputs, to the control circuit, a measurement result of the time difference of the time-to-digital conversion circuit.
