  • Patent number: 5514990
    Abstract: An input buffer circuit includes an output circuit and supplies a plurality of signals in response to an input signal. A delay line is constituted of a plurality of delay cells connected in series and delays the signals supplied from the input buffer circuit. A PLL circuit connected to the delay line, includes a level converter which outputs a control signal for controlling a delay time of the delay line. An output signal generation circuit generates a signal having a multiplied frequency from the output signal of the input buffer circuit and the output signal of a tap of the delay line. Each of the delay cells has an output circuit having the same arrangement as that of the output circuit provided in the input buffer circuit, and a clocked inverter circuit included in each of the output circuits of the delay cells and input buffer circuit is controlled by the control signal output from the level converter.
