A digitally controlled delay line generates a clock signal. The clock signal can be modulates as a spread spectrum clock signal. In an example embodiment, the programmable delay line has an input for receiving a signal, an output that delays outputting the input signal by a time period programmed into a delay value input. A feedback loop comprising an inverter is coupled between the input and the output of the programmable delay line.
