Abstract
In an embodiment, a delay circuit includes a delay line with a clock input signal and a delayed clock output signal that is based on a setting value. Each delay element of the delay line receives one of several delay element select signals and outputs a delayed signal based on the delay element select signal. The setting value may be a binary encoded value representing the desired delay. The delay element select signals may correspond to a thermometer encoded value of the binary encoded setting value.
