Abstract

A composite delay line includes a first and a second delay line connected to a multiplexer. The multiplexer has a first and a second input. The first delay line includes an input, an output and first control means for controlling delay. The second delay line includes an input, an output and second control means for controlling delay. The output of each delay line is connected to the input of the multiplexer. Control logic connected to the first control means selects a delay through the first delay line. Control logic connected to the second control means selects a delay through the second delay line. Control logic connected to the multiplexer selects between the output of the first delay line and the second delay line.
