  • Patent number: 8736338
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 11, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 27, 2014
    Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
    Inventors: Lipeng Cao, Carol G. Pyron, Kenneth R. Burch, Ramon V. Enriquez
