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 13):
An integrated circuit comprising:\n a signal network comprising first and second adjustable delay circuits, wherein the first adjustable delay circuit is coupled at a first intersection in the signal network between branches of the signal network, wherein the signal network generates a first signal at a first leaf node of the signal network in response to a second signal, wherein the signal network generates a third signal at a second leaf node of the signal network in response to the second signal, and wherein the second adjustable delay circuit is coupled at a second intersection in the signal network between branches of the signal network; and a first phase detector circuit that compares phases of the first and third signals to generate a first phase detection signal, wherein the first 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 first phase detection signal indicating that the first and third signals have the skew.
