Abstract

A clocking system disclosed herein includes a delay locked loop (DLL) circuit with a plurality of delay elements, where the DLL circuit is configured to receive a clock input signal and generate a plurality of clock output signals. The clocking system also includes a feed-forward system configured to increase the speed of the clock signal transmission through the delay elements and to enforce symmetric zero crossings of the clock signal at each of the plurality of delay elements.
