Abstract:
A delay locked loop (DLL) circuit includes a first delay control unit configured to generate a first delay control signal in response to a first phase detection signal to control a delay amount of a first delay line and to output a first delay amount information signal, a second delay control unit configured to generate a second delay control signal in response to a second phase detection signal to control a delay amount of a second delay line and to output a second delay amount information signal, and to control the delay amount of the second delay line again in response to the first delay control signal and a half cycle information signal, a half cycle detecting unit configured to receive the first delay amount information signal and the second delay amount information signal to extract half cycle information of a reference clock signal, thereby generating the half cycle information signal, and a duty cycle correcting unit configured to combine an output clock signal from the first delay line and an output clock signal from the second delay line, thereby outputting a duty ratio correction clock signal.
