Abstract
According to one aspect of the invention, a method is provided in which an input signal is received at a first node of a buffer circuit. The propagation of the input signal from the first node to a second node in the buffer circuit is delayed by a delay period based upon a first control input. The delay period is adjusted by a factor based upon a second control input.
