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 3):
The semiconductor integrated circuit according to  claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of switches that selects any one of a plurality of corresponding delay elements over the plurality of groups, and connects the respective selected delay element to the respective second phase comparator corresponding to the each selected delay element.
