Abstract:
A synchronization circuit may include: a variable delay circuit configured to delay a first clock signal by a varied delay time according to delay control signals, and configured to output a delayed signal of the variable delay circuit as a second clock signal; a phase detector configured to generate a phase detection signal by detecting a phase difference between the first and second clock signals; and a delay control circuit configured to perform a phase unstable period detection operation according to the phase detection signal, and configured to perform a delay skip operation to adjust the delay control signals such that a phase unstable period, detected in the phase unstable period detection operation, is skipped in a delay time tuning operation.

Claim (Index 8):
The synchronization circuit according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the delay control circuit performs the phase unstable period detection operation by performing a plurality of phase detection operation sets, wherein the plurality of phase detection operation sets are performed by differently setting the varied delay time of the variable delay circuit for each of the phase detection operation sets, and wherein each of the phase detection operation sets includes a plurality of phase detections which are performed while the varied delay time of the variable delay circuit is fixed.
