Abstract

A delay locked loop circuit includes a delay locking block configured to delay an input clock and output the delayed input clock as an internal clock to compensate a skew of an external clock and the internal clock, a pulse generating block configured to sequentially output a plurality of pulse signals that control an operation of the delay locking block and enable one of the plurality of pulse signals in response to a detection signal, wherein the plurality of pulse signals is shifted by being synchronized with the input clock, and a pulse detecting block configured to output the detection signal in case all of the plurality of pulse signals are disabled.
