Abstract
A delay locked loop includes a delay unit with a controllable delay time. Switching elements are provided in order to tap off output signals from the delay elements of the delay unit. Two nodes connected to the switching elements are connected to a multiplexer configuration in order to activate in each case two of the switching elements that are connected to delay elements connected directly in succession. A phase interpolator generates an intermediate phase from the signals provided.
