Abstract text

A delay locked loop includes a first delay unit configured to output an output clock by delaying an input clock by a delay; a replica delay unit configured to output a feedback clock by delaying the output clock with a delay equal to a sum of a first delay amount for a first operational frequency of the delayed locked loop and an additional delay amount for a second operational frequency of the delayed locked loop, wherein the second operational frequency is lower than the first operational frequency; and a delay amount control unit configured to control the delay of the first delay unit by comparing a phase of the input clock with a phase of the feedback clock.
