Abstract
A controller includes first and second functional units, first and second clock-signal sources that provide corresponding first and second clock signals that drive the first and second functional units respectively. The second clock-signal generates its second clock-signal based on the first clock-signal. The clock-retardation unit dynamically causes the second clock-signal to have a target time-domain offset relative to the first clock-signal.
