Abstract

A retiming circuit is provided which accurately converts half-width dual rail data with up to one unit interval of jitter with respect to the data clock, into full-width data. The circuit is comprised of D-flip-flops and associated logic elements which capture and hold a data pulse until the captured data pulse can be accurately transferred to the next circuit stage by a positive clock transition.
