A synchronous delay circuit comprises a first delay circuit array 1 allowing a pulse or a pulse edge to progress during a constant time, a second delay circuit array 2 capable of allowing the pulse or the pulse edge to pass in the first delay circuit array by a length in proportion to a length by which the pulse or the pulse edge has progressed, and a latch delay circuit 5 for storing and reproducing a delay time of a clock driver. Thus, the clock pulse progresses in the latch delay circuit 5 and the delay circuit array 1 during the clock period tcK, so that the delay amount of tcK-(td1+td2) can be obtained with no clock driver dummy. Therefore, when the synchronous delay circuit is applied to the device such as ASIC having the clock delay amount different from one chip to another, it is no longer necessary to design the clock driver dummy for each interconnection design modification, and therefore, a design efficiency and a precision can be elevated.
