Abstract
The DLL circuit includes a control circuit which controls bias currents of the unit delay circuits according to an externally input column address strobe writing latency (CWL) signal, and/or a DCC control circuit which adjusts steps of a DCC current of the DCC according to the externally input column address strobe writing latency (CWL) signal. The CWL signal may be input by a semiconductor memory device and may be indicative of a column address strobe writing latency of the semiconductor memory device. The semiconductor memory device may be a double data rate (DDR) synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) device.
