Abstract
In a demodulation circuit for demodulating a pulse position modulation (PPM) signal, and a camera having the demodulation circuit, a change in PPM signal is counted by an up/down counter which is switched between count-up and count-down modes every time the PPM signal changes. When a carry signal is output from the counter, the carry signal is latched, and the PPM signal is demodulated into binary data on the basis of the presence/absence of the carry signal in the count-up mode and the carry signal in the count-down mode.
