Patent number: 6181174Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a DLL circuit. The DLL circuit includes a frequency divider which frequency-divides an input clock at a frequency dividing ratio which is varied depending on a frequency of the input clock and thus results in a dummy clock and a reference clock. A delay system includes a variable delay circuit which delays the dummy clock. A control circuit controls a delay amount of the variable delay circuit so that a phase of a delayed dummy clock from the delay system and the reference clock becomes zero.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1999Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Waichirou Fujieda, Yasuharu Sato, Nobutaka Taniguchi, Hiroyoshi Tomita, Yasurou Matsuzaki
