Abstract

An electronic system includes a deskewing circuit configured to measure a delay and generate a synchronized signal according to the measured delay. The deskewing circuit may be configured to detect an overflow condition and respond accordingly, for example by asserting an overflow signal. Further, the deskewing circuit may be additionally or alternatively configured to detect successful measurement of the delay and respond, for example by executing a power saving and/or noise reducing procedure.
