Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. Alignment circuitry for use with clock-controlled circuitry, the alignment circuitry comprising:
a first clocked latch configured to receive a synchronization signal having an enable edge and a target clock signal and to output an enable signal having an enable edge corresponding to the enable edge of the synchronization signal and synchronized with the target clock signal;
a second clocked latch configured to receive the enable signal and a delayed target clock signal, being a version of the target clock signal having been delayed by a delay circuit of the clock-controlled circuitry, and to output a re-timed enable signal having an enable edge corresponding to the enable edge of the enable signal and synchronized with the delayed target clock signal; and
gating circuitry configured to receive the delayed target clock signal and the re-timed enable signal and to start output of the delayed target clock signal at a timing defined by the enable edge of the re-timed enable signal for controlling the clock-controlled circuitry.
