Patent ID: 7231306

Claim:
A method for calibrating static timing offsets across multiple outputs comprising the steps of: generating a first output signal having a first transition; determining a first temporal relationship of the first transition to a reference transition time by sampling the first output signal at the reference transition time; adjusting a first parameter, based at least in part upon the first temporal relationship, such that a first subsequent transition of the first output signal occurs in closer temporal proximity to a subsequent reference transition time; generating a second output signal having a second transition; determining a second temporal relationship of the second transition to the reference transition time by sampling the second output signal at the reference transition time; and adjusting a second parameter, based at least in part upon the second temporal relationship, such that a second subsequent transition of the second output signal occurs in closer temporal proximity to the subsequent reference transition time; wherein the steps of adjusting the first parameter and adjusting the second parameter reduce a temporal skew between the first subsequent transition of the first output signal and the second subsequent transition of the second output signal.
