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 22):
A circuit comprising:\n a means for delaying an input clock signal with a clock delay to generate a delayed clock signal; a means for delaying a first input data signal with a first data delay to generate a first delayed data signal; a means for delaying a second input data signal with a second data delay to generate a second delayed data signal; a means for sampling the first delayed data signal in response to receipt of the delayed clock signal; a means for sampling the second delayed data signal in response to receipt of the delayed clock signal; a means for adjusting the clock delay until the clock delay reaches a reference clock delay amount that creates a threshold number of sampling errors; a means for adjusting the first data delay relative to the reference clock delay amount until the first data delay reaches a first target data delay amount; and a means for adjusting the second data delay relative to the reference clock delay amount until the second data delay reaches a second target data delay amount.
