ABSTRACT:
Frequency division circuits in n stages sequentially 1/2-frequency-divide an input clock signal. Pattern generating circuit generates and issues a plurality of pattern data parallel to each other in synchronism with a frequency-divided clock from the final frequency division stage thereof. Multiplexing circuits in n stages are given a plurality of pattern data and multiplex input pattern data in each stage for each two data. Output clock signals of the n-th through first stage frequency division circuits are supplied to the first through n-th multiplexing circuits via respective delay circuits as multiplexing control clock signals. A retiming circuit is inserted in series to the input of at least one of the multiplexing circuits, and a multiplexing control clock signal applied to said one multiplexing circuit from the corresponding frequency division circuit is given to the retiming circuit as a retiming clock signal. A phase switching circuit is inserted in series to the output of the frequency division circuit which applies the multiplexing control clock signal to said one multiplexing circuit. When a node of the input pattern data in the retiming circuit approaches the edge of a retiming clock signal within a predetermined range, an approach detection signal is issued from the approach detection circuit. The phase switching circuit shifts the phase of the input clock signal in response to the approach detection signal by a predetermined quantity and issues the phase-shifted clock signal.
