A sync signal generating circuit has a first I/O replica for delaying an external clock signal, a comparator replica with a variable delay time for delaying an output of the first I/O replica, a first ramp-voltage generating circuit for outputting a first voltage whose potential level begins to rise at a time of transition of a level of the output of the comparator replica and stops rising at a predetermined timing, a second ramp-voltage generating circuit for outputting a second voltage whose potential level begins to rise after the rising of the potential level of the first voltage stops, a voltage comparator for comparing the first and second voltages and outputting an internal clock signal, a second I/O replica for delaying the internal clock signal with a delay time substantially equal to the delay time of the first I/O replica, and a phase comparator for comparing a phase of an output of the second I/O replica and a phase of an input to the first I/O replica. A delay time in the comparator replica is adjusted on the basis of an output from the phase comparator.
