Abstract:
A delay-locked loop (DLL) circuit and an integrated circuit (IC) including the same are provided. The DLL circuit includes a pre-processing circuit configured to generate a first pulse signal and a second pulse signal based on a clock signal input, the first pulse signal and the second pulse signal having a phase difference of (s/2) times a clock period of the clock signal (where s is a positive integer), a delay line configured to generate a delay signal by delaying the first pulse signal by a delay amount corresponding to a selection value, a phase detector configured to detect a phase difference between the delay signal and the second pulse signal, and a control logic configured to adjust the selection value based on the phase difference between the delay signal and the second pulse signal as detected by the phase detector, so as to synchronize the delay signal with the second pulse signal.
