Abstract
A CMI block synchronization circuit includes a clock deriving circuit, CMI decoding circuit, signal selection determining circuit and a selection circuit. In the clock deriving circuit, a clock CLK.sub.o having the same phase as a binary signal and a clock CLK.sub..pi. having a phase which is different 180.degree. from the clock CLK.sub.o are derived from an inputted CMI code signal. In the CMI decoding circuit, the inputted CMI code signal is decoded by using the clocks derived and violating bits are detected. In the signal selection determining circuit, the clocks CLK.sub.o and CLK.sub..pi. are counted respectively. Only when one of the count values is equal to or higher than a setting value and another count value is lower than another setting value is it regarded that a block asynchronization is caused in decoding the CMI code signal. In this case, the decoded output being selected until that time is changed over to another decoded output, whereby the block synchronization is retained even during burst errors.
