Abstract:
A method and circuit for providing on-chip measurement of the delay between two signals includes first and second delay chains (241, 242) having different delay values connected to sampling latches (222-227) which each include a data input coupled between adjacent delay elements of the first delay chain and a clock input coupled between adjacent delay elements of the second delay chain, thereby capturing a high precision delay measurement for the signals.
