Patent ID: 7196550

Claim:
A circuit, comprising: a first set of drivers receiving a first signal to produce a first driven output signal; a second set of drivers receiving a second signal to produce a second driven output signal; and at least one cross coupling element selectively connected between the first set of drivers and the second set of drivers for reducing the skew between the first driven output and the second driven output, wherein the first set of drivers includes a first inverter and a second inverter, the first inverter receiving the first signal, the first inverter coupled in series with the second inverter, the second inverter producing the first driven output signal; wherein the second set of drivers includes a third inverter and a fourth inverter, the third inverter receiving the second signal, the third inverter coupled in series with the fourth inverter, the fourth inverter producing the second driven output signal; and wherein the at least one cross coupling element includes a first pair of transistors connected in parallel and connected between the first signal set and the second driven output signal.
