<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor memory device furnished with a delay locked circuit easily correcting a duty ratio when outputting a delay locked clock of a semiconductor memory device. <P>SOLUTION: The semiconductor memory device includes a delay locked circuit, a duty cycle correction circuit, and a clock synchronization circuit. The delay locked circuit outputs a delay locked clock by delaying a system clock by a predetermined time. The duty cycle correction circuit outputs a first clock by correcting a duty cycle of the delay locked clock, wherein the proportion of high to low level periods of the delay locked clock is controlled according to a time difference between a second edge of the first clock and that of a second clock derived from the first clock. The clock synchronization circuit synchronizes a first edge of the first clock with that of the second clock. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
