An inter-phase skew detection circuit includes a frequency division circuit that frequency-divides N-phase clocks to be measured at predetermined timings so as to generate N+2 frequency-divided clocks; a phase comparison target clock generation circuit that generates N phase comparison target clocks by using predetermined N frequency-divided clocks among the N+2 frequency-divided clocks; a phase comparison reference clock generation circuit that generates N reference clocks by using the N+2 frequency-divided clocks, in accordance with predetermined combinations between the N+2 frequency-divided clocks and an operation criterion; and a phase comparison circuit that detects respective phase differences between the N phase comparison target clocks and the corresponding N reference clocks. |
