A delay line can include a number of delay elements connected in series, each selected to impart an overall delay to an input signal. The delay line can include delay selection logic to select a subset of the delay elements to delay the input signal. The delay line can include delay element enable logic to enable the selected subset of the delay elements to delay the input signal. Further, the remaining delay elements can be disabled from contributing any delay to the input signal, and a respective periodic signal can be provided to at least one of the remaining delay elements to cause the at least one remaining delay elements to output an output signal that is a function of the respective periodic signal and that has a frequency less than that of the input signal. This configuration can reduce asymmetric aging effects on the delay line.
