Abstract
Provided is a frequency lock detector which includes one counter and a clock number difference detector for detecting a clock number difference while not increasing complexity according to the counting number N to compare the frequencies of two clock signals whose phases are not synchronous to each other and determine whether the difference between the frequencies of the two signals is within a desired frequency accuracy. The frequency lock detector includes: a counter for counting the number of clocks of a reference clock signal inputted from outside; a clock number difference detector for detecting a difference between the clock number of the reference clock signal and the clock number of a recovered clock signal whose phase is not synchronous to the phase of the reference clock signal; and a lock determiner for determining a frequency lock based on result values of the counter and the clock number difference detector.
