Abstract
An apparatus for adjusting signal delay includes an input for receiving a signal to be delay adjusted. A delay circuit is connected to the input means for providing a plurality of selectable signal paths for various delay amounts for producing a delay adjusted signal therefrom. A delay selection circuit is connected to the delay circuit for selecting the signal path so as to select a delay amount and an output provides the delay adjusted signal to a load. Skew compensation is employed on the input and individually on each output to compensate for clock distribution network skew and intracircuit skews, respectively.
