    摘要: A semiconductor memory device for controlling an operation of a delay-locked loop (DLL) circuit is provided. The semiconductor memory device includes a DLL circuit that receives an external clock signal and that performs a locking operation on the external clock signal and an internal clock signal, thereby obtaining a locked state. A control unit controls the DLL circuit to constantly maintain the locked state during an updating period of an auto-refresh period of an auto-refresh operation for refreshing memory banks.

    摘要: The duty correcting circuit includes a duty cycle corrector, a duty detector and a duty correction code generator. The duty cycle corrector corrects a duty cycle of an input clock signal to generate an output clock signal. The duty detector adjusts a delay time of the output clock signal to generate a sampling clock signal, samples the output clock signal in response to the sampling clock signal to generate sample data, and detects a duty of the output clock signal based on logic states of the sample data. Therefore, the duty correcting circuit precisely detects and corrects a duty of the output clock signal.
