Abstract
A semiconductor device outputs, as an output signal synchronized to a phase-locked loop clock signal, a synchronized input signal that is synchronized to a reference clock signal of a phase-locked loop circuit. The semiconductor device includes the phase-locked loop circuit, a first flip-flop that receives the input signal in synchronization with the reference clock signal on the basis of a feedback signal inputted to a phase comparator of the phase-locked loop circuit, and a second flip-flop that receives an output from the first flip-flop on the basis of the phase-locked loop clock signal. The second flip-flop outputs the output from the first flip-flop as the output signal. A setup time to synchronize the input signal to the phase-locked loop clock signal is set to one half of a period of the reference clock signal.
