Abstract:
A skew correction system includes delay circuits positioned in front of sampling circuitry. A skew correction controller first delays an input clock signal to create hold violations. Then with, with the delay of an input clock signal fixed at a reference delay amount, the skew correction controller delays input data signals first to remove or reduce the hold violations, and then to create setup violations. Based on the delaying, the skew correction controller identifies data valid windows for the input data signals, and in turn, identifies target delay amounts that position a delayed clock signal in target sampling positions.

Claim (Index 21):
A method comprising:\n while maintaining a clock delay of a clock delay circuit and receiving an input clock signal and a plurality of input data signals:\n increasing delays, with a controller, of a plurality of data delay circuits receiving the plurality of input data signals; \n upon increasing the delays to first delay amounts, identifying, with the controller, a reduction of hold violations to a threshold number; \n recording, with the controller, the first delay amounts; \n upon increasing the delays to second delay amounts, identifying, with the controller, a threshold number of setup violations; and \n determining, with the controller, target delay amounts based on the first delay amounts and the second delay amounts.
