Abstract: In this parity data generating circuit, a Galois field multiplying calculation is realized by performing data conversion by index table information generated from a Galois field multiplying table so that data for RAID6 are generated. A table check circuit inspects nonconformity of the index table information in advance by using results in which the Galois field multiplying table is indexed from different directions constructed by the longitudinal direction and the transversal direction. Data and parity for making the multiplying calculation are decomposed into plural data and parities by using this table check circuit, and index table information different from each other are allocated to these data and parities. Thus, a longitudinal index table making circuit and a transversal index table making circuit themselves are checked.

The horizontal synchronization level detector detects a horizontal synchronization detection level HL for detecting a horizontal synchronization signal from a video signal Din. The synchronization signal extractor outputs a limited signal D1 obtained by extracting only a signal within a limit range (HL?n) to (HL+m) that is set based on the horizontal synchronization detection level HL from the video signal Din. The first filter circuit removes a high frequency component of the limited signal D1 and outputs it. The synchronous separator detects a horizontal synchronization signal HS from the output signal of the first filter circuit.

Abstract: A PLL circuit includes a phase comparing section, a low pass filter, a digital VCO circuit, and a frequency divider. The phase comparing section compares an inputted clock signal and a frequency-divided clock signal in phase to detect a phase difference. The low pass filter averages the phase difference outputted from the phase comparing section to output the averaged result as a frequency control input. The digital VCO circuit operates in synchronism with a reference clock signal, and generates a sync clock signal based on the frequency control input while a phase of the sync clock signal is controlled in units of predetermined resolution values. The predetermined resolution value is a 1/K (K is a natural number more than 1) of a period of the reference clock signal. The frequency divider frequency-divides the synch clock signal to generate the frequency-divided clock signal.
