Abstract

The present invention relates to a system (100 or 200) for aligning a programmable clock or strobe. The system (100 or 200) comprises a first programmable delay unit (1a) for receiving the programmable clock or strobe, characterized by a second programmable delay unit (1b) connected in parallel to the first programmable delay unit (1a) for receiving the programmable clock or strobe, a switch (2) for switching one of the two programmable delay units (1a or 1b) to service the programmable clock or strobe so as to allow the other programmable delay unit (1a or 1b) to adjust the other programmable clock or strobe, and a control logic component (3) for handling the switching of the switch (2), in which the switch (2) swaps in the adjusted programmable clock or strobe to service a downstream clocktree or strobe path after the programmable clock or strobe is adjusted. The present invention also relates to a method for aligning a programmable clock or strobe.
