Abstract:
According to one embodiment, in a semiconductor integrated circuit of a DLL circuit, in a delay chain, a plurality of delay elements are connected. A first detection circuit detects a group corresponding to a certain delay amount among a plurality of groups obtained by dividing the delay chain. A second detection circuit detects a delay element corresponding to the certain delay amount among a plurality of delay elements included in the detected group. The semiconductor integrated circuit detects the number of delay elements corresponding to one cycle of a first clock. The control circuit includes a second delay chain. The second delay chain has a configuration equivalent to the delay chain in the semiconductor integrated circuit. The control circuit outputs a second clock obtained by delaying the first clock by using the second delay chain according to the number of delay elements detected by the semiconductor integrated circuit.

Claim (Index 4):
The semiconductor integrated circuit according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein the plurality of groups are connected in series, and wherein each of the plurality of first phase comparators is connected to an output node of a corresponding group, respectively.
