Abstract
A clocking circuit and method for phasing a signal with an unknown phase to a clock signal includes a time requirement duration (TRD) signal which has two states and the duration of one of the states is indicative of a combined setup and hold time requirement for the storage device intended to capture the unknown phase signal. The TRD signal is then clocked as a function of the unknown phase signal and called a toggle clock phase (TCP) signal. The TCP signal is then used to modify the phase of a clock enable for the storage device signal to ensure adequate setup and hold time for the clocking of the unknown phase signal.
