Abstract
A DLL circuit includes a duty ratio detection unit that detects a duty ratio of a rising clock and a duty ratio of a falling clock, thereby outputting a duty ratio detection signal. A correction control unit generates a correction control signal in response to the duty ratio detection signal. A duty ratio correction unit corrects a duty ratio of an internal. clock in response to the correction control signal, thereby outputting a reference clock.
