  • Patent number: 9350333
    Abstract: If an exclusive OR circuit itself, a component of a signal delay detecting circuit, has failed to operate properly, a signal delay cannot be detected accurately. A malfunction pre-detecting circuit 12 includes a delay circuit DL to delay input data that is input in parallel to a data input terminal of a flip-flop FF1 provided in a subsequent stage of a flip-flop FF0, a flip-flop FFT that receives output of the delay circuit DL, and a comparator CMP that compares output of the flip-flop FF1 and output of the flip-flop FFT. Test data tv1 and test data tv2 are input to the malfunction pre-detecting circuit 12 in an operation test mode for testing operation of the malfunction pre-detecting circuit 12. The test data tv2 is input to the delay circuit DL. The comparator CMP compares the test data tv1 and output of the flip-flop FFT in the operation test mode.

  • Patent number: 8385403
    Abstract: This invention provides a digital broadcasting receiving unit capable of achieving synchronization of time information between a base station and a receiving unit with reference clock without use of a crystal oscillator (VCXO) having a variable frequency. The crystal oscillator oscillates a clock of a predetermined fixed frequency. A variable digital dividing circuit divides a fixed frequency by a division ratio so as to change the division ratio. A system decoder detects reference time information from the base station. A reference counter generates time information of a receiving unit. A phase comparator detects a difference between reference time information and time information. A division ratio control circuit controls the change of the division ratio based on the difference. The reference counter generates time information based on a clock having a frequency obtained by dividing by the variable digital dividing circuit and feeds back time information to the phase comparator.

  • Publication number: 20080091869
    Abstract: A FIFO circuit includes a write counter circuit, a memory circuit, a read counter circuit and a selector circuit. The write counter circuit counts a write clock signal during a valid period of input data, and outputs a write counter value. The memory circuit stores the input data in response to the write counter value. The read counter circuit counts a read clock signal when a decision is made that the memory circuit includes data that has not yet been read out, and outputs a read counter value. The read selector circuit reads data from the memory circuit in response to the read counter value. A small scale FIFO circuit can be obtained.
