Abstract:
An integrated circuit includes a signal network and a phase detector circuit. The signal network includes an adjustable delay circuit. The adjustable delay circuit is coupled at an intersection in the signal network between branches of the signal network. The signal network generates a first signal at a first leaf node of the signal network in response to a second signal. The signal network generates a third signal at a second leaf node of the signal network in response to the second signal. The phase detector circuit compares phases of the first and third signals to generate a phase detection signal. The adjustable delay circuit adjusts a delay provided to the first signal relative to the second signal to reduce a skew between the first and third signals based on the phase detection signal indicating that the first and third signals have the skew.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 7  further comprising:\n generating a fourth signal at a third leaf node of the signal network in response to the second signal; \n generating a fifth signal at a fourth leaf node of the signal network in response to the second signal; \n comparing phases of the fourth and fifth signals to generate a second phase detection signal using a second phase detector circuit; and \n adjusting a delay provided to the fourth signal relative to the second signal using a second adjustable delay circuit to reduce a skew between the fourth and fifth signals based on the second phase detection signal indicating that the fourth and fifth signals have the skew, wherein the second adjustable delay circuit is coupled at a second intersection of the signal network between branches of the signal network.
