control signal 13 determines the delay time.

The settable range of the delay time n may be expanded
by a power of 2 by increasing the hit number of the self-load
counter 2. In addition. in cases where the load value
where the same clock is used as the write clock 15 and the
read clock 16. and the same reset signal is used as the write
address reset signal (RSTW) 17 and the read address reset

pared with the numbers of the ICs used in the delay circuits
of the prior art which are reported in Table l. The e?ect of
the present invention becomes particularly notable as the
and the read address reset signal 18. respectively. and these
pointers are initialized at the time of the initial 0 (L-state).
Input data signals 4 for four clocks are written in synchro
nization with the clock 5 starting with the next clock. The
pointers are reinitialized in response to the reset signal 8 at
