ABSTRACT:
A synchronizing circuit includes a phase comparator having hysteresis characteristics and a dead zone, and configured to generate a frequency division ratio control signal based on a phase difference between a first clock and a second clock. The circuit further includes a variable frequency divider configured to generate a fourth clock by subjecting a third clock to frequency division at a frequency division ratio set in accordance with the frequency division ratio control signal, and a clock generator configured to subject the fourth clock supplied from the variable frequency divider to frequency division at a predetermined frequency division ratio, and generate the second clock such that the second clock synchronizes with transfer data which is supplied from an outside of the synchronizing circuit.
