Abstract

See full text

A skew reduction circuit includes a first delay circuit that delays a first clock signal to generate a second clock signal and a second delay circuit that delays a third clock signal to generate a fourth clock signal. The skew reduction circuit also includes a time-to-digital converter circuit that measures a skew between the second and fourth clock signals to generate a measurement of the skew between the second and fourth clock signals. The skew reduction circuit adjusts a delay of one of the first or second delay circuits to reduce the skew between the second and fourth clock signals based on the measurement of the skew.
