An object of the present invention is to simply and rapidly adjust a delay time of a delayed clock signal in accordance with a change in frequency of an input clock signal.The present invention comprises: a pulse generating circuit for generating a pulse signal PULSE with a trailing edge of an input clock signal as a reference; an inverter chain consisting of a plurality of inverters; a pair of inverter chains for sequentially delaying output signals from the pulse generating circuit; a plurality of NOR gates for adjusting a delay time of each inverter in the inverter chain; and a plurality of NAND gates for similarly adjusting a delay time of each inverter in the inverter chain. Since the delay time of the delayed clock signal in a next cycle is set based on the pulse signal generated based on a trailing edge of the input clock signal, even if a cycle of the input clock signal varies, the delay time of the delayed clock signal can be rapidly changed in accordance with this variation.
