ABSTRACT:
A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus such as a disk drive has a phase locked loop circuit which is less susceptible to an effect of noise of a power supply and ground and reduces a clock jitter. The magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus is compatible to a constant density recording system without increasing a circuit scale and a power consumption and with a small number of IC pins. The phase locked loop circuit of the magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus is provided with two D/A converter circuits to drive a loop filter. It is also provided with a circuit for distributing a reference potential of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and a center frequency of the VCO, a gain of the VCO and a current gain of the D/A converter circuit are changed in linked relation. A reference voltage source is provided such that a center point or one end of the loop filter is connected to the reference voltage eliminating the ground connection.
