  • Programmable delay for clock phase error correction
    Patent number: 7545194
    Abstract: A method, circuit, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a differential clock signal from two clock signal lines into a first differential pair of transistors of a first size, receiving the differential clock signal from the two clock signal lines into a second differential pair of transistors of a size smaller than the first size, converting the differential clock signal into a single-ended clock signal, outputting the single-ended clock signal through an inverter, and synchronizing any differential clock phase error by controlling the transconductance between the first differential pair of transistors and the second differential pair of transistors.
    Type: Grant
