Abstract

In a DLL, in-phase correlation signal and orthogonal correlation signal are squared and adder to generate correlation power. Delays are provided so that the peaks of N number of divided correlation power portions to have coincided timing with each other. Composite correlation power is generated from the respective correlation power portions. A composite error signal of a sample clock is generated by subtracting the composite correlation power from the composite correlation power that has been delayed. A data clock is generated by frequency-dividing the sample clock based upon an acquisition pulse. A sample clock is finally generated based upon the composite error signal that has been latched and noise-removed therefrom in synchronized timing with the data clock that has been delayed.
