Abstract
A clock circuit including an input terminal (300) for receiving a clock signal and a first pulse generator (302) coupled to the input terminal. The first pulse generator is operable to generate a voltage pulse in response to a logic-low voltage to logic-high voltage transition of the clock signal. The circuit also includes a second pulse generator (304) coupled to the input terminal, the second pulse generator being operable to generate a voltage pulse in response to a logic-high voltage to logic-low voltage transition of the clock signal. A first clock deskewing circuit (306) is coupled between the first pulse generator and a first clock signal output terminal and a second clock deskewing circuit (308) is coupled between the second pulse generator and a second clock signal output terminal. The circuit may also include an OR logic circuit (310) coupled to the first and second clock signal output terminals, and a third pulse generator (312) coupled to the OR logic circuit, the third pulse generator having a third clock signal output terminal (314).
