Abstract

In a bit synchronizing circuit, the oscillating operation is prevented in the phase synchronizing stage such that even the reception data including a phase variation such as a jitter component can be appropriately reproduced. A phase comparator compares the phase of reception data with that of each of the n-phase clock signals to produce clock phase information. An averaging circuit obtains mean value data of the clock phase information. D-type flip flop circuits achieve sampling operations of the reception data and latch therein n sampling data items to be thereafter outputted. A data selector selects one of the n sampling data items according to the mean value data of clock phase information and delivers therefrom the selected item as selection data. A clock selector selects one of the n-phase clock signals in association with the average data of clock phase information and then outputs the selected item as an extraction clock signal.
