Abstract

A modem LSI includes a combination of a first frequency divider, a first PLL circuit composed of a phase comparator, an LPF and a VCO, and a first select switch for selecting one of the first frequency divider and the first PLL circuit to provide a detection clock for a detector and a combination of a second frequency divider, a second PLL circuit composed of a phase comparator, an LPF and a VCO, and a second select switch for selecting one of the second frequency divider and the second PLL circuit to provide an operation clock for a roll-off wave generator and a clock regenerator, the first and second frequency dividers and the first and second PLL circuits each receiving a reference clock from a common oscillator installed outside the LSI.
