Patent ID: 7016422

Claim:
A method comprising: detecting a transition of a first signal associated with a first signal path; and dynamically inserting a delay in a second signal path associated with a second signal based on at least the detection of the transition, a priority value of the first signal path, and a priority value of the second signal path; generating a first delay pulse based on the transition of the first signal; communicating the first delay pulse from a first circuit associated with the first signal path to a second circuit associated with the second signal path; detecting a second transition of a third signal associated with a third signal path; generating a second delay pulse based on the second transition; communicating the second delay pulse from a third circuit associated with the third signal path to the second circuit; and wherein the period of the delay is based on at least the first delay pulse, the second delay pulse, and the dynamic delaying is based on the detection of the second transition and a priority value of the third signal path.
