Abstract
An apparatus for deskewing clock signals in a synchronous digital system. The apparatus contains a phase detection circuit that receives a plurality of clock signals and generates an output based on a phase relationship between those clock signals. A controller then receives the output of the phase detector and determines which one of the plurality of clock signals requires adjustment based on the output of the phase detector and a bit from a delay shift register. The controller transmits a delay signal to one of a plurality of delay circuits which modifies the delay of the clock signal that the controller determined to require adjustment.
