A device for verifying frequency of a clock signal generated from a clock signal generator includes a reference signal generator, a frequency divider and a comparative detector. A reference clock signal and a reset signal are provided by the reference signal generator. The frequency divider in communication with the reference signal generator and the clock signal generator receives and frequency-divides the clock signal into a bi-level divided clock signal in response to the reset signal. Then the comparative detector in communication with the frequency divider and the reference signal generator detects a level of the bi-level divided clock signal in response to the reset signal and the reference clock signal, and verifies frequency of the clock signal according to a period deviation range Te when the bi-level divided clock signal is detected to be a first level from the first to the (p&#x2212;q)th detected points but a second level at the (p+1)th detected point.

Method and device for verifying frequency of clock signal

A circuit and a method for generating a variable delay clock without glitches are provided. A DLL clock output circuit comprises a selection circuit. A plurality of select signals selectively switch the corresponding clock delay lines to be the output signal by the selection circuit. Each of the select signals traverses through a delay switching circuit to adaptively delay the time points at which the select signals switch the clock delay lines to the output signal, so as to produce a glitchless variable delay clock signal.
