Abstract

An example method performed for a circuit path includes: receiving signals in the circuit path; and controlling states of the signals in the circuit path based on skews produced by circuits electrically connected in series in the circuit path. The states are controlled by inverting or not inverting the signals in the circuit path so that skews produced by different circuits in the circuit paths at least partially cancel.
