Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a programmable delay path comprising a plurality of path delay tuners configured to receive a plurality of control signals and add to the programmable delay path an amount of cell delay and an amount of wire delay that are based on the plurality of control signals. The integrated circuit further includes a controller configured to provide the plurality of control signals to the programmable delay path, receive a signal from the programmable delay path, and compare the signal to a reference signal.
