Abstract

A signal source synchronization circuit includes: a first TDC circuit that measures a first path delay time which is a time difference between an input time of a trigger signal to a first input terminal and an input time of the trigger signal to a second input terminal; and a second TDC circuit that measures a second path delay time which is a time difference between an input time of the trigger signal to a first input terminal and an input time of the trigger signal to a second input terminal, wherein a first phase shifter adjustment circuit sets a phase adjustment amount corresponding to the first path delay time in a first phase shifter, and a second phase shifter adjustment circuit sets a phase adjustment amount corresponding to the second path delay time in a second phase shifter.
