Abstract
A clock generation circuit includes a delay line, which delays an input clock and generates a delayed clock, a delay modeling unit, which delays the delayed clock by a modeled delay value and generates a feedback clock, a phase detection unit, which compares phases of the input clock and the feedback clock and generates a phase detection signal, a filter unit, which receives the phase detection signal and generates phase information, generates an update signal when a difference between the numbers of phase detection signals with a first and a second level generated is greater than or equal to a threshold value, and generates the update signal after a lapse of a predetermined time when the difference is less than the threshold value, and a delay line control unit, which sets a delay value of the delay line in response to the update signal and the phase information.
