Title:
SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011160097
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To reduce clock jitters of a semiconductor device, while limiting the increase in the circuit area thereof.

In the semiconductor device having a circuit block which uses a reference clock signal as an operation clock in operation, and a circuit block which uses a clock signal obtained by n-dividing the frequency of the reference clock signal as the operation clock in operation; a delay circuit provides a predetermined delay to the reference clock signal; a selector selects one clock signal out of the reference clock signal and the delayed clock signal, according to a control signal and outputs the selected clock signal to the circuit block which uses the reference clock signal as the operation clock in operation; and then the amount of phase shift of the reference clock signal combining the phase changes due to power source noise is equalized for each period thus reducing clock jitter.
