Abstract

Disclosed herein is a false lock detection circuit including: a data signal input section receiving an input of a data signal; a clock signal input section receiving an input of a clock signal generated from the data signal; a pattern detector obtaining the data signal on a basis of the clock signal, and detecting a data pattern in which adjacent pieces of data at at least three consecutive bits differ from each other; a phase period shift detector detecting a shift between periods of phases at a change point of the data signal and a change point of the clock signal; and a determining section determining whether a false lock has occurred on a basis of results of detection of the pattern detector and the phase period shift detector.
