Abstract: In a digital PLL system, instead of measuring a binarized playback RF signal with a high frequency clock, pulse-length data is generated by using N phase clocks (for example, 16 phase clocks). The pulse-length data is then counted with a virtual channel clock so as to extract run-length data. In this digital PLL system, the number of changing points of an asynchronous signal during an interval between adjacent clocks of the N phase clocks is detected so as to determine phase errors from the detected number of changing points. Phase errors are also determined from the timing relationship between changing points of a signal synchronized with the N phase clocks and each clock of the N phase clocks.

Abstract: A phase-locked-loop device includes a clock generator for generating a reference clock based on a binarized playback signal and a frequency of run-length data and for generating N-phase clocks using the reference clock, a pulse-length measuring device for measuring a pulse length of the binarized playback signal using the N-phase clocks to output pulse-length data, and a run-length-data extracting device for counting the pulse-length data based on a virtual channel clock to extract run-length data. Pulse-length data is generated using the N-phase clocks (e.g., 16-phase clocks). The pulse-length data is counted based on the virtual channel clock to extract run-length data. Thus, it is not needed to generate a high-frequency clock, and the operating frequency is maintained sufficiently low.

Abstract: Setting a polishing rate and a polishing time in chemical mechanical polishing can be performed with high accuracy by considering a product wafer of an object to be polished, and an instrumental error between apparatuses to be used, etc. By using, as a calculating formula, a formula well approximating a portion of a curve representing a state of chemical mechanical polishing on a side showing a target polishing amount, the polishing rate and the polishing time can be set with high accuracy according to a state of chemical mechanical polishing for actually polishing a product wafer. In the calculating formula, a parameter “A” relating to a film property of a film of an object to be polished, a parameter “B” relating to a roughness state of a film surface, and a parameter “C” relating to an instrumental error differential between apparatuses of a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus are joined by operators.

Abstract: In PLL circuits for reproducing a channel clock in synchronism with data read from a disk-shaped recording medium driven for rotation, the frequency dividing ratio of frequency dividers provided in desired signal paths is made changeable according to the reproduced signal format of a CD reproduced signal or a DVD reproduced signal, for example. Although the frequency of the channel clock in synchronism with the reproduced signal differs in different signal formats, the above configuration makes it possible to reproduce the channel clock properly in accordance with a plurality of signal formats only by the operation of changing the frequency dividing ratio in a PLL circuit.
