Abstract
3An optimal delay value, usually the mid-delay in the operational window, for the data signal may be retained as a way of shifting the skew of the clock on all data lines at the same time. That delay value may be stored in a memory and converted to a control voltage for controlling a digitally controlled voltage variable delay to adjust the delay for data in a bus. The digitally controlled voltage variable delay contains a number of individual delay units which are selectively activated by the control voltage from the value stored in memory. A phase locked loop is employed to ensure that variations due to voltage, temperature, and processing are minimized.
