Abstract

A PLL control circuit, which outputs a PLL clock in response to a reference clock, is provided with a frequency adjustment circuit which performs frequency adjustment such that the PLL clock frequency is substantially constant even when the reference clock varies. The frequency adjustment circuit changes a set value in a counter, which determines the PLL clock frequency, in accordance with the variation in the reference clock frequency.
