Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling the reading-in of a data signal at an input of an electrical circuit to an input latch with the aid of a clock signal, with the data item, which is indicated by the data signal, being transferred to the input latch with a clock edge of the clock signal, with the clock edge of the clock signal being shifted in time as a function of a time delay between a signal edge of the input signal at the input and the clock edge, such that the time delay between the signal edge of the data signal and the clock edge is within a predetermined time window.
