Abstract
A PLL circuit having a gain control function includes: a first phase comparator for outputting a first phase difference signal indicating a phase difference between a first input signal and a second input signal; a first loop filter for smoothing a signal based on the first phase difference signal and outputting a first control voltage; a VCO for oscillating at a frequency based on the first control voltage and thereby outputting a first clock; and a dummy VCO having characteristics identical with those of the VCO for oscillating at a frequency based on a second control voltage and thereby outputting a second clock.
