A semiconductor device includes a delay line configured to delay a source clock by a delay equal to a first number of delay units in response to a delay control code and to generate a delayed source clock; a delay amount sensing unit configured to sense whether the delay amount of the delay line reaches a delay amount limit; a clock cycle measuring unit configured to measure the cycle of the source clock by counting a sampling clock in response to an output signal of the delay amount sensing unit, wherein a cycle of the sampling clock is equal to a second number of delay units; and a delay amount controlling unit configured to change the delay amount of the delay line in response to the measured cycle of the source clock as determined from an output signal of the clock cycle measuring unit. |
