Abstract

A method and apparatus is disclosed for generating, based upon user input, clock signals which are delayed by sub-delays which are of a size that is smaller than the smallest achievable delay of a conventional delay element. A user can selectively add one or more sub-delays by providing control inputs which define the desired number of sub-delays to be added.
