Abstract

A clock synchronization system includes a clock generator for producing first and second system clock signals that are each received by corresponding ones of a pair of integrated circuits from which the integrated circuits each produce secondary clock signals. The clock system includes synchronizing circuitry that receives the secondary clock signals to determine the phase difference between them, and delaying one of the system clock signals, relative to the other, in a manner that results in the state transitions of the secondary clock signals occur within a period of time of each other.
