  • Patent number: 6570428
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an adjustable clock skew apparatus and method for generating clock signals, which resolves the drawbacks of costing a user much time and effort to adjust clock skews of all components on a motherboard. In order to accomplish the object, the present invention proposes three operating modes: hardware setup, software setup or a mixture of hardward and software setup. A user just needs to adjust a plurality of exterior switches or to adjust a Basic Input Output System (BIOS) of the motherboard to modify the parameter of clock skew, and clock signals with necessary clock skews will be obtained.
