Abstract
Abstract A signal synchronizing system comprising first circuit having a plurality of sync signals, second circuit having a plurality of sync signals corresponding to the sync signals of the first circuit, respectively, and a synchronizing control circuit which synchronizes output signals of the second circuit with output signals of the first circuit. The synchronizing control circuit inputs the plurality of sync signals of each of the first and second circuits, and outputs a control signal to the second circuit.
