An additional clock is delayed from a master clock by 90 degrees to provide needed additional clock edges during a cycle. The need for the additional clock edges arises from the desire to perform a read and a write in the same clock cycle. The precise delay is achieved through a clock programmable delay that can be updated as the frequency of the master clock may change. The amount of delay is conveniently detected by using two other programmable delays to achieve a 180 degree delay. The 180 degree delay is easily detected using a flip-flop. The programming signal that caused the total of 180 degrees of delay caused 90 degrees per programmable delay. The same programming signal is then coupled to the clock programmable delay to achieve the desired 90 degrees of delay for the additional clock.
