Abstract

A timing signal extraction circuit has a clock signal extractor for extracting from a transmitted data signal a clock component synchronous with the transmission rate of the transmitted signal, an oscillator having an oscillation frequency about M (M: an integer) times as high as the transmission rate of the transmitted signal, a phase-locked loop detecting the phase difference between the output signal of a frequency divider frequency-dividing the output signal of the oscillator and the output signal of the clock signal extractor thereby controlling the operating phase of the oscillator, and a logic circuit producing a plurality of pulse trains whose bit rate is equal to the transmission rate of the transmitted signal and which have respectively different phases. A pulse train having a desired phase is selected from among the plural pulse trains to provide a decision timing signal.
