Alignment circuitry including a first clocked latch for receiving a synchronization signal having an enable edge and a target clock signal and outputting an enable signal having an enable edge corresponding to the enable edge of the synchronization signal and synchronized with the target clock signal; a second clocked latch for receiving the enable signal and a delayed target clock signal, being a version of the target clock signal having been delayed by a delay circuit of the clock-controlled circuitry, and outputting a re-timed enable signal having an enable edge corresponding to the enable edge of the enable signal and synchronized with the delayed target clock signal; and gating circuitry for receiving the delayed target clock signal and the re-timed enable signal and to start output of the delayed target clock signal at a timing defined by the enable edge of the re-timed enable signal for controlling the clock-controlled circuitry.
