Abstract
A clock generator having deskewed outputs signals wherein a transit time of each of a plurality of traces coupled to the clock generator outputs are determined and the longest trace is identified as the trace having the longest transit time. A time delay is then added to an output clock signal at each of the clock generator outputs that are not coupled to the longest trace. The addition of the time delay for each of the clock generator outputs is effective in automatically deskewing the clock generator outputs.
