Abstract
A voting circuit (34) comprises a first variable delay (60) operable to receive a first set of signals in a clock signal and to determine a first delay based on the first set of signals. The first variable delay (60) generates a first delayed output in response to the first delay of the clock signal. A second variable delay (62) is operable to receive a second set of signals and a clock signal and to determine a second delay based on the second set of signals. The second variable delay (62) generates a second delayed output in response to the second delay of the clock signal. A latch (64) is connected to the first and second variable delays. The latch (64) is operable to receive the first and second delayed outputs and to generate a latched voting output in response to at least one of the first and second delayed outputs.
