A synchronous mirror delay circuit comprises a delay monitor circuit for delaying a reference clock signal from a clock buffer circuit. A forward delay array sequentially delays an output clock signal of the delay monitor circuit to generate delay clock signals, and the mirror control circuit detects a delay clock signal synchronized with the reference clock signal among the delay clock signals. A backward delay array delays a clock signal delayed by the mirror control circuit, and a clock driver receives an output clock signal of the backward delay array to generate the internal clock signal. A locking range control circuit controls a delay time of each clock signal transferred to the delay monitor circuit by the amount of a delay time of each signal transferred to the clock driver when none of delay clock signals of the forward delay array is synchronized with the reference clock signal.
