A variable delay circuit successively delays an input clock to generate a plurality of delayed clocks having different phases. A phase comparison circuit receives a first reference clock, which is either one of the delayed clocks or the input clock, and a second reference clock, which is one of the delayed clocks and whose phase lags behind that of the first reference clock, specifies a validated interval for the second reference clock, and compares the phases of the first and second reference clocks according to voltage levels of the first and second reference clocks only during the validated interval. A delay control circuit controls a delay time in the variable delay circuit according to a result of the comparison obtained by the phase comparison circuit.
