Abstract
A system and method are provided for generating an adaptive clock signal, configured to track prevailing operating conditions within an integrated circuit. The method comprises transmitting a first signal edge to a row of cells within a memory instance, waiting for two or more selected cells within the row of cells to propagate corresponding responses based on the first signal edge, and generating a memory delay signature signal edge based on the corresponding responses. The adaptive clock signal is generated based on the delay signature signal edge.
