Abstract
An apparatus and method for aligning input and feedback signals in a transmission circuit are provided. The method includes capturing an input signal and a feedback signal, determining a first time delay between the input signal and the feedback signal, determining a second time delay between the input signal and the feedback signal, the determination of the second time delay having a higher resolution than the determination of the first time delay, and applying the first time delay and the second time delay to temporally align the input signal with the feedback signal. Use of the present invention provides an improved resolution of time alignment while reducing the overall complexity and cost of the transmission circuit.
