Abstract
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device is provided with first to third circuits. The first circuit generates first information that indicates a corresponding relationship between a period of a reference clock and a delay amount per delay element. The second circuit generates second information that indicates the number of stages of delay elements corresponding to a set phase difference based on the first information. The third circuit generates a delayed clock by delaying the reference clock just a delay amount of stages of the delay elements indicating the second information.
