Claim 30:
31. The method of claim 20, further comprising:
using the first RO to reset and enable the second RO;
using the second RO to reset and enable the first RO;
controlling the durations of the high and low phases, independently, via first and second control words, respectively;
counting, by a first counter, a first target number of inversions propagated along a first plurality of inverting gates, the first RO including the first plurality of inverting gates formed in a first ring;
selecting, by a first multiplexer coupled to the first RO, a given first inverting gate of the plurality of first inverting gates based on the first control word;
triggering the first counter via an output of the given first inverting gate, the first counter coupled to the first multiplexer;
counting, by a second counter, a second target number of inversions propagated along a second plurality of inverting gates, the second RO including the second plurality of inverting gates formed in a second ring;
selecting, by a second multiplexer coupled to the second RO, a given second inverting gate of the plurality of second inverting gates based on the second control word; and
triggering the second counter via an output of the given second inverting gate, the second counter coupled to the second multiplexer.
