Abstract:
A clock generation circuit includes a delay clock generation unit configured to generate a predetermined number of delay clock signals having different delay time periods for a reference clock signal; a low-speed clock generation unit configured to generate a low-speed clock signal having a lower frequency than the reference signal in accordance with a control signal that controls a phase; a control signal processing unit configured to perform, on the control signal, a quantization process for quantizing a value of the control signal into the predetermined number of discrete values and a modulation process for distributing a quantization error in the quantization process in a band of frequencies higher than a predetermined frequency; a selection unit configured to select any one of the predetermined number of delay signals in accordance with the control signal; and an output unit configured to output the low-speed signal in synchronization with the selected signal.
