Information reproducing apparatus and phase lock control apparatus

摘要

A sample of an information signal is periodically generated in response to a sampling clock signal. A level relation between successive ones of the information-signal samples is detected. A peak-corresponding sample is detected among the information-signal samples in response to the detected level relation and in response to a prescribed level range containing a "0" level. A level represented by the detected peak-corresponding sample is outside the prescribed level range. Calculation is made regarding a level difference between information-signal samples immediately preceding and immediately following the detected peak-corresponding sample. A phase error signal is generated in response to the calculated level difference. The sampling clock signal is controlled in response to the phase error signal to lock the sampling clock signal in phase with the information signal.
