Abstract
Generally, the embodiments presented are directed to circuits and methods for triggering an event at a fraction of a clock cycle. A triggering circuit can comprise two or more input circuits that output an event signal. The event signal is received by one of two or more delay circuits that trigger the event signal at a predetermined phase of the clock cycle by moving the event signal from a first clock domain to another clock domain. By triggering the event at a phase division, the triggering circuit outputs signals at a rate faster than the clock cycle.
