Abstract:
Delay elements and multiplexers are in programmable delay elements. Each programmable delay element has a chain of delay elements to produce successive delays of a clock of the programmable delay element. Each programmable delay element has a first multiplexer to select among an input clock and delay element outputs in the chain of delay elements to produce a skewed clock output of the programmable delay element. In at least a subset of the programmable delay elements, each programmable delay element has a second multiplexer to select among clocks that include a first clock, and a second clock that is from one of the delay elements of another programmable delay element to produce the clock of the programmable delay element.
