An open-loop clock deskewing circuit for high-speed synchronous DRAM
An open-loop clock deskewing circuit (CDC) for high-speed synchronous DRAM is described. Unlike the conventional circuits, the CDC does not require an additional measure delay line, thus power consumption is reduced. The delay is measured directly from the main delay line and both the input and output ports of the delay line are movable. The CDC provides a deskewed clock within two clock cycles.
