Zusammenfassung:Provided herein are delay locked loops (DLLs) with calibration for external delay. In certain embodiments, a timing alignment system includes a DLL including a detector that generates a delay control signal based on comparing a reference clock signal to a feedback clock signal, and a controllable delay line configured to generate the feedback clock signal by delaying the reference clock signal based on the delay control signal. The timing alignment system further includes a delay compensation circuit that provides an adjustment to the controllable delay line to compensate for a delay of the feedback clock signal in reaching the detector.
