Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes: producing a set of delayed replicas of a reference clock signal, wherein delayed replicas in the set of delayed replicas have respective signal edges delayed in time by a mutual time delay therebetween; producing a set of edge detecting signals comprising edge detecting signals indicative of respective distances of edges of delayed replicas in the set of delayed replicas from an edge of a clock signal having a clock period; selecting based on edge detecting signals in the set of edge detecting signals a delayed replica in the set of delayed replicas having a distance from the clock signal edge that is shorter than the distance from the clock signal edge of any other delayed replica in the set of delayed replicas.
