A delay-locked loop ("DLL") having reduced susceptibility to false lock. The DLL includes a delay path coupled to delay an input signal. The delay path includes two or more variable delay cells coupled in series and a feedback node coupled to an output of one of the variable delay cells. An inverter is coupled to receive the input signal and to output an inverted signal. A feedback circuit is coupled to receive the inverted signal from the inverter and to receive a feedback signal from the feedback node. The feedback circuit monitors a phase difference between the inverted signal and the feedback signal to generate a delay control signal in response to the phase difference to adjust a variable delay of the delay path.
