Abstract

Provided are a delay-locked loop (DLL), a delay locking method, a clock synchronization circuit, and a memory. The DLL includes: a frequency division module, configured to receive an input clock signal, perform frequency division on the input clock signal, and output an intermediate clock signal; a first adjustable delay line, configured to receive the intermediate clock signal, adjust and transmit the intermediate clock signal, and output a synchronous clock signal; a delay module, configured to receive the input clock signal, perform delay transmission on the input clock signal, and output a sampling clock signal; and a latching module, configured to receive the sampling clock signal and the synchronous clock signal, latch the synchronous clock signal on the basis of the sampling clock signal, and output a group of target clock signals.
