ABSTRACT:
A clock signal generating circuit generates a clock signal having a frequency other than frequencies obtained by dividing a predetermined frequency by natural numbers without using a PLL circuit. An oscillator generates a reference clock signal having a reference frequency. A counter counts the reference clock signal to divide the reference frequency of the reference clock signal. A count value output from the counter is reset when the count value reaches a predetermined number. Sine-wave data of a sine-wave is output when the count value is input, a set of the sine-wave data being output for successive numbers of the count value from zero to the predetermined number. The set of the sine-wave data corresponds to a predetermined number of waves of the sine-wave. A digital-to-analog converter converts the set of the sine-wave data into an analog sine-wave signal. A filter selectively filters a predetermined frequency component contained in the analog sine-wave signal. A comparator converts the analog sine-wave signal into a clock signal.
