Abstract
A measure initialization path for a delay line structure includes: a forward path, comprising a plurality of delay stages coupled in series; a first output path coupled to at least an output of a delay stage of the forward path, where at least an output of a delay stage is fed forward to the forward path; and a second output path coupled to at least an output of a delay stage of the forward path, where at least an output of a delay stage is fed forward to the forward path. When a signal is propagated through the measure initialization path, the signal successively propagates through a delay stage of the forward path, a delay stage of the first output path and a delay stage of the second output path for performing measure initialization.
