Abstract

An Nth one of N parallel sequences of low-speed data demultiplexed by a demultiplexer from high-speed input data in synchronization with a high-speed clock is compared by N comparators with N parallel sequences of reference patterns. The N parallel sequences of reference patterns are each generated in synchronization with a frequency divided clock obtained by frequency dividing the high-speed clock into 1/N. When any of the comparators provides a disagreement output at least once, one clock pulse is eliminated by a post-clock eliminating circuit from the divided clock so that the N sequences of reference patterns are each delayed by one bit. When a counter detects that any one of the comparators does not provide the disagreement signal for n consecutive bits, the sequence of reference patterns corresponding to this comparator and the Nth sequence of low-speed data are in synchronization with each other. Clock pulses of the number corresponding to the line position of the synchronized sequence of reference patterns are eliminated by a pre-clock eliminating circuit from the high-speed clock which is applied to the demultiplexer. By this, line positions of the N parallel sequences of …
