A delay locked loop includes a first delay device for obtaining a fine setting and a downstream-connected second delay device for obtaining a coarse setting of the delay time. The control signals for controlling the respective delay devices are provided by synchronization latches, which receive a clock obtained by the output signal of the first delay device for obtaining the fine setting. The delay locked loop enables a linear operating behavior at a high operating frequency and is particularly suitable when a differential embodiment of the two delay devices is used.
