Abstract
Signal-sampling apparatus wherein information signals are directed to a register under the control of first clock pulses and are latched into the register under the control of second clock pulses. A calibrator monitors the timing of the first and second clock pulses to determine if they are so close together that data signals subsequently output from the register will be distorted so as to cause errors in downstream devices. If such condition is found, the calibrator inverts the phase of the second clock pulses to assure proper time spacing to avoid data corruption.
