Data reproduction device with simplified circuit structure

A data reproduction device comprising:

• an A/D (Analog/Digital) converter quantizing a reproduction signal read from data recorded on a recording medium to produce quantized data based on a sampling clock;
• a reproduction signal determination unit determining rising and falling parts of said reproduction signal based on the quantized data, and outputting a gate signal corresponding to a result of determining the rising and falling parts;
• a leading-edge clock generation unit generating a leading-edge clock signal synchronous to a leading edge indicating a rising part of said reproduction signal;
• a trailing-edge clock generation unit generating a trailing-edge clock signal synchronous to a trailing edge indicating a falling part of said reproduction signal;
• a signal switch unit generating the sampling clock by selecting one of the leading-edge clock signal and the trailing-edge clock signal based on a value of the gate signal;
• and
• a signal supply unit supplying the sampling clock to said A/D converter,
• wherein said data reproduction device reproduces said data recorded on the recording medium by executing digital signal processing on said quantized data,
• wherein said signal switch unit includes a clock-speed multiplication unit multiplying a clock speed of one of the leading-edge clock signal and the trailing-edge clock signal by a fixed number, and synchronizes said gate signal to a clock whose speed is multiplied by said clock-speed multiplication unit as well as delays said gate signal for a fixed number of clock cycles.
