Abstract

A detection circuit is configured to detect phase information between two clock signals of different frequencies, and the two clock signals include a low frequency clock signal and a high frequency clock signal. The detection circuit includes: a signal generation module, configured to detect the low frequency clock signal at an edge of the high frequency clock signal to generate a to-be-sampled signal, and generate a target sampling signal when the high frequency clock signal is kept at a preset level and the low frequency clock signal meets a preset condition; and a sampling module, connected with the signal generation module and configured to detect the to-be-sampled signal at an edge of the target sampling signal to generate a detection result signal.
