  • Patent number: 5835544
    Abstract: A clock signal reproduction circuit including an A/D conversion circuit for converting an input RF analog signal with a restricted upper limit of a frequency band into a digital signal, a digital phase error calculation unit for digitally calculating a phase error of a digital signal converted in the A/D conversion circuit, a control voltage generating unit including a loop filter, a D/A conversion unit for outputting an analog control voltage signal based on the digital phase error calculated, and an analog voltage-controlled type oscillating circuit for outputting a reproduction clock signal having a frequency of at least 2 times the frequency of the input analog signal. The A/D conversion circuit uses the clock signal output from the analog voltage-controlled type oscillating circuit to convert the input analog signal into a digital format and output a reproduction clock signal from the analog voltage-controlled oscillating circuit.
