  • Patent number: 8798123
    Abstract: In a differential signal test mode, the first control circuit causes, in response to the first control signal, the differential signal generating circuit to generate the differential signal depending upon the data signal and output the differential signal. The second control circuit stops the operation of the common mode signal generating circuit in response to the second control signal. In a common mode signal test mode, the first control circuit causes, in response to the first control signal, the differential signal generating circuit to generate a fixed differential signal and output the differential signal. The second control circuit causes, in response to the second control signal, the common mode signal generating circuit to generate the common mode signal depending upon the clock signal and output the common mode signal.

  • Publication number: 20090206893
    Abstract: PLL circuit 1000 includes a charge pump circuit 100, a low-pass filter 101, a voltage controlled oscillator 102, a frequency divider 103, and a phase comparator 104. As in the comparative example, the frequency divider 103 divides the frequency of an oscillation signal C and outputs a feedback signal B obtained by the frequency division. The phase comparator 104 compares the phase (frequency) of the feedback signal B and the phase (frequency) of an input signal A and outputs an output UP and an output DN according to the comparison result. The charge pump circuit 100 outputs a voltage corresponding to the output UP and the output DN. In other words, the charge pump circuit 100 outputs a signal by charging and discharging an input/output terminal in response to the output of the phase comparator 104.
