Abstract

A method for glitch-free updates of a standard cell-based programmable delay including the steps of (A) generating an output signal in response to an input signal and a plurality of first control signals and (B) generating the plurality of first control signals in response to the output signal and a plurality of second control signals. The output signal may include a delayed version of the input signal. An amount of delay between the input signal and the output signal may be determined based upon the plurality of first control signals.
