  • Synchronization of a digital circuit
    Patent number: 7764755
    Abstract: A method of synchronization of a digital circuit includes selecting a first site and a second site from a plurality of different sites of the digital circuit where a signal to be synchronized occurs; passing a first signal, which is the signal to be synchronized of the first site, via a first line that starts at the first site, ends at the second site, and contacts each of the sites just once, to the second site; passing a second signal, which is the signal to be synchronized of the second site, via a second line that starts at the second site, ends at the first site, and contacts each of the sites just once, to the first site; determining, for each site, a first phase shift between the signal to be synchronized of this site and the first signal, and a second phase shift between the signal to be synchronized of this site and the second signal; and determining, from the first and second phase shifts of each site, a delay for each site, with which the signal to be synchronized of the respective site is delayed
