Abstract

A system is provided for processing synchronization signals. A plurality of synchronization signals are received having different periods and different degrees of priority, and are used to generate a regenerated synchronization signal in response to clock pulses. A selector is used for selecting a selected synchronization signal, from among those received synchronization signals having a correct period. The selected synchronization signal is chosen based upon the different degrees of priority. A nonvolatile memory stores memorized synchronization signal and an allowable phase range. An address counter, which receives as an input a controllable initial value, counts the clock pulses to produce a clock count over a period of time, and to cause the nonvolatile memory to output the stored synchronization signal as a read-out synchronization signal and to output the stored allowable phase range as a read-out range, in response to the clock count. The controllable initial value, which is used as an input to the counter, is controlled by a timing control. The timing control is supplied with the selected synchronization signal from the selector and the read-out phase range from the nonvolatile memory. The timing control changes the value of the controllable initial value at such a time so as to cause the read-out synchronization signal and the read-out phase to be read from the nonvolatile memory when the selected synchronization signal has a phase in said read-out phase range.
