Abstract
A delay locked loop(DLL) includes a phase detector for detecting phase difference between input clock signals and feedback clock signals, and outputting phase detection signals according to results of the detection, a delay line for delaying the input clock signals in response to first and second delay control signals, and outputting delay clock signals, a delay controller for generating the first and the second delay control signals in response to the phase detection signals, and a delay model for delaying reference clock signals during predetermined time, and outputting the delayed signals as the feedback clock signals.
