A delay adjustment circuit for decreasing a phase shift between a system clock and a feedback clock from a semiconductor's internal clock. The circuit includes a difference-pulse generator that provides an interim clock 180 degrees out of phase with the feedback clock when the feedback clock is leading the system clock, and equal to the feedback clock otherwise. The difference-pulse generator also provides a difference-pulse signal that is at logic high for a period of time by which the system clock and an inversion of the interim clock are phase shifted. The circuit also includes a delay control unit and a delay unit which delay the interim clock by the period of time. The resulting delayed interim clock, which is 180 degrees out of phase with the system clock, is inverted to provide an internal clock in phase with the system clock.
