Abstract
A phase sychronizing circuit for a device which reproduces digital data has a phase locked loop including a first phase comparison circuit, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) producing an output the frequency of which is controlled by the first phase comparison circuit, and a first frequency divider to divide the output frequency of the VCO. The phase synchronizing circuit further includes second frequency divider for dividing the output frequency of the VCO, a second phase comparison circuit for comparing the phase of a first clock signal from the first frequency divider, with that of a second clock signal from the second frequency divider and a circuit for controlling the frequency dividing ratio of the first frequency dividing circuit according to the phase difference between the first and second clock signals in such a way that the frequency dividing ratio becomes one of 1/N, 1/(N+1) and 1/{(N+(N+1))/2} wherein N is a positive integer.
