Abstract
A delay locked loop circuit including: a clock signal input buffer to buffer an input clock signal and generate a reference clock signal; a delay unit to delay the reference clock signal in response to a coarse and fine delay code and generate an internal clock signal; a clock signal delay replica unit to delay the internal clock signal and generate a feedback clock signal; a coarse delay control unit to receive the reference and feedback clock signals, detect a time period between a transition time point of the reference clock signal and a transition time point of the feedback clock signal occurring before the transition time point of the reference clock signal, and generate a coarse delay code; and a fine delay control unit to compare a phase of the reference clock signal and a phase of the feedback clock signal, and generate a fine delay code.
