In a phase adjustment circuit that divides the frequency of a double-frequency clock to obtain a 50% duty-cycle clock, a first ½ frequency division circuit having a phase inversion function generates an intermediate reference clock apart in phase from both a phase reference clock and a phase-adjusted clock. A first phase control circuit controls the phase of the intermediate reference clock to be in a desired phase state with respect to the phase reference clock. A second phase control circuit controls the phase of the phase-adjusted clock to be in a desired phase state with respect to the intermediate reference clock. Thus, when the phase-adjusted clock is adjusted to be close in phase to the phase reference clock, the phase difference between these clocks can be determined correctly and stably even if it varies due to clock jitter. |
