Abstract:
A delay locked loop (DLL) of a semiconductor integrated circuit includes a first delay line configured to variably delay a source clock signal and output a locked clock signal, a phase comparator configured to compare the phase of the source clock signal with the phase of a feedback clock signal, a second delay line configured to variably delay the locked clock signal, a first delay controller configured to control the first delay time of the first delay line, a second delay controller configured to control the minimum delay time of the second delay line, and an operation mode controller configured to control the first and second delay controllers in response to an output signal of the phase comparator, and switch operation modes of the first and second delay controllers depending on locking state of the delay lines.
