Abstract

A variable delay line outputs a clock signal advanced in phase by a time corresponding to a sum tH+tL of a time tH required to output high level data from an OCD circuit and a time tL required to output low level data from the OCD circuit. A replica circuit for outputting low level data has the same configuration as a circuit portion of the OCD circuit through which low level data passes. The replica circuit outputs a start signal SSH for outputting high level data from the OCD circuit. Another replica circuit for outputting high level data has the same configuration as a circuit portion of the OCD circuit through which high level data passes. The replica circuit outputs a start signal SSL for outputting low level data from the OCD circuit.
