Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for implementing enhanced skew control for synchronizing two clock meshes in an IC or chip. A disclosed skew adjust control, methods, and systems enable effective and efficient operations to optimize a coarse delay setting to maintain for a functional mode of operation of the system, where only fine delay steps are applied to an adjustable one of the clock meshes, based on measured clock skew, to synchronize the clock meshes.
