Data clock regenerating apparatus
First Claim
1. A data clock regenerating apparatus comprising:
- a first phase-locked loop which generates a first clock signal that is synchronous with a frequency of an input data signal and that is also in phase synchronism with a change point of the data signal;
a first discriminating unit which regenerates the input data signal by discriminating this input data signal with the first clock signal;
a second phase-locked loop which generates a second clock signal of which frequency and phase are synchronous with the first clock signal; and
a second discriminating unit that regenerates an output data signal of the first discriminating unit by discriminating this output data signal with the second clock signal, wherein an upper limit value of a jitter transmission frequency in the first phase-locked loop in which a jitter signal superimposed on the input data signal is transmitted to the first clock signal without being suppressed, is not less than an upper limit value of a jitter transmission frequency that is required in the apparatus, and an upper limit value of a jitter transmission frequency from the first phase-locked loop to the second phase-locked loop in which a jitter signal superimposed on the input data signal is transmitted to the second clock signal without being suppressed, is not more than an upper limit value of a jitter transmission frequency that is required in the apparatus.

Abstract
The present invention comprises a phase-locked loop which generates a first clock signal, and a phase-locked loop which generates a second clock signal. An upper limit value of a jitter transmission frequency in the phase-locked loop in which a jitter signal is transmitted to the first clock signal without being suppressed, is not less than an upper limit value of a jitter transmission frequency. An upper limit value of a jitter transmission frequency from the phase-locked loop to the phase-locked loop in which a jitter signal is transmitted to the second clock signal without being suppressed, is not more than an upper limit value of a jitter transmission frequency.
