Abstract
A frequency control device capable of detecting a frame sync pattern and generating a frequency information accurately even if a reproduction signal is not zero-crossed, and an information reproduction apparatus having the same, which includes an oscillation circuit outputting a clock having a frequency corresponding to a control signal; a converter sampling an input analog signal having a predetermined pattern based on the clock and converting the same to a digital signal; and a frequency detection device detecting an object to be a sync pattern from a changing trend of the digital signal, generating a frequency information for controlling a reproduction clock based on the detected object to be the sync pattern, and outputting the same as the control signal to the oscillation circuit.
